- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Lusitania Museum and Related Matters: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)
Tim Lombard: Taking that information into consideration, there is an urgent need to ensure we have a dive team put on the wreckage that will move artefacts that are at risk of being lost for evermore. That is the key issue. If we have the capabilities within the Department to grant a licence then it must move with the community to ensure we have one major dive on the wreck and take what is there before...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Lusitania Museum and Related Matters: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)
Tim Lombard: My only question has been about how to put a process in place for the next five to seven years thus ensuring we do not lose stuff to the sea. I ask Mr. Hayes to elaborate on the propellers. Have they been located? Originally, propellers were retrieved from the wreck. Where are they at the moment?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: I welcome our witnesses to this discussion on the national broadband plan. We have heard from witnesses, particularly from the Department, who have spoken about broadband being the game changer for the next 20 or 30 years. I would like some information on the speeds that will be provided in future. We have had presentations from the Department concerning elearning, efarming and ehealth....

Tim Lombard: It is basically being bounced?

Tim Lombard: RISPA technology is mainly based on line of sight.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: The current spectrum being used is basically line of sight, as far as I can determine.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: What would be the environmental impact of trying to ensure that line of sight capability is available all over Ireland?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: What infrastructure would be needed for that? How would an area be covered? Will it involve masts?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: Are the masts usually made by Mr. List-Petersen's company?

Tim Lombard: My final question follows from what the Chairman asked. Mr. Matthews did not get involved in the process until 2015. The other three operators in the process were all opting for fibre to the home. He has suggested a totally different model. If the process were reopened, would his company come on board in the retendering? Does he believe the process has moved on such that the focus is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: I thank the witnesses for the presentation. I ask for clarification on ComReg's role in customer service. Does it have a remit in regard to customer service for Eir and the 300,000 customers in particular?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: When it comes to the USO for phone and broadband, ComReg has a remit.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: I refer to the question of when a USO will come in. To sum up ComReg's presentation in three or four words, industry roll-out would come first, followed by public policy intervention and this type of scenario would come after that. The UK model was roughly 2%. That is basically it in a nutshell. This model only addresses the remote areas affected in that scenario.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: If one wanted to appeal or change the terms and conditions of the USO, would that be a matter for ComReg or for the Government?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: I am not referring to ComReg wanting to change it. I will give an example. We currently have a USO for a fixed line, but it is proposed to change or review it. What is the process for that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: Would ComReg or the Department run that process?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: Does ComReg or the Department deal with the current fixed-line USO?

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (10 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: I would like to follow on from the statement by my colleague from Limerick, Senator Kieran O'Donnell, regarding the Mercosur deal. There is exceptional unrest in the beef industry. In the last 18 months it has seen a dramatic deterioration in prices. The proposed Mercosur deal will see an increased volume of beef coming into the European Union, which will also deflate prices. The outlook...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Housing and Retrofitting: Discussion (10 Jul 2019)
Tim Lombard: Can I ask about the skill gap? We are proposing to build up to 20,000 new houses every year. The Government's target for 2030 is to have 500,000 houses or units retrofitted. There is an insufficient number of tradesmen with the ability to deliver the projects on time. How does the CIF believe the skills gap could be bridged? What do we need to do at national level and through policy to...
