Report of Joint Committee on Climate Action: Motion (9 May 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Can the Minister tell us how much Granahan McCourt will invest as capital in the new broadband company?

National Broadband Plan: Statements (9 May 2019)

Timmy Dooley: If the overall cost is €5 billion, the State is contributing in or about €3 billion and the capacity of the company that will be established to borrow significantly against that and against the asset that will be the contract, it is fair to assume that when one takes in debt and equity, the equity being put in by Granahan McCourt is probably somewhere in the ballpark of...

National Broadband Plan: Statements (9 May 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Given that the Minister is neither denying nor confirming it, I take it that €300 million to €400 million is in the ballpark in respect of the equity that Granahan McCourt will contribute to this. My assumption is that thereafter, the rest will be by way of debt or syndicated debt. We are also conscious that the project will generate somewhere in the region of €1.5...

National Broadband Plan: Statements (9 May 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I ask the indulgence of the House in sharing my time with Deputy Cowen, our spokesperson on public expenditure.

National Broadband Plan: Statements (9 May 2019)

Timmy Dooley: There is no difference between us in terms of the necessity to rapidly roll out high-speed broadband to those rural and semi-rural areas that have been promised it for the past seven years. It is imperative that we do that. I agree and recognise the impact of the digital divide on those communities. However, the announcement made in the past number of days is anything but a rapid roll-out....

Timmy Dooley: Deputy Cullinane can beg our indulgence on this occasion.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (9 May 2019)

Timmy Dooley: In February, the Government produced a set of commitments to support the implementation of the National Biodiversity Action Plan 2017-21. A global assessment report was published this week showing that the health of the ecosystem, on which we and all other species depend, is deteriorating rapidly. Can the Minister provide an update on the necessary urgent implementation of the national...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 May 2019)

Timmy Dooley: For the avoidance of doubt I reiterate Fianna Fáil's position, which is that we fully support the rapid roll-out of high-speed broadband to the 542,000 homes, farms, schools and business premises dotted throughout rural and semi-rural parts of this country. The Government announcement on broadband, within two weeks of the local and European elections, does not indicate a rapid roll-out,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 May 2019)

Timmy Dooley: If this was not an election stunt, I doubt the Government would have produced this document in advance of the contract being signed. Considering that the tendering process is over, there is no reason whatsoever that number cannot be published. As I have said, any analysis of the memorandum from the Secretary General, Mr. Watt, would show clearly that the contribution being made by Granahan...
