- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019) Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister and thank him for his comments to the wider committee for the work done on climate change. The Minister has had an opportunity since taking office to look at where the situation with the national broadband plan now rests. When he looks back at how we got to the position we are in, does he have any concerns about the tendering process and the competitive dialogue...
- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019) Timmy Dooley: I accept most of what the Minister has said. The gap-funding model was the right decision with the information that was available at the time. However, is it not clear that as the circumstances changed dramatically when both SIRO and Eir pulled out, there should have been a review at that stage? The Government resisted all efforts by the Opposition to have a review at that stage because it...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019) Timmy Dooley: I will bring the section to a conclusion because we could spend all day discussing it. What I and most other people are trying to understand is why the two largest bidders, SIRO and Eir, which have the greatest assets on the ground, pulled out. Has the Minister sought to understand why they did so? Would he give any consideration to the charge that they pulled out because they were of the...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019) Timmy Dooley: One of the contentious issues with the licence fee has been the failure rate with collection, the truancy rate if we want to call it that. It is estimated at about €30 million to €40 million. A document prepared by this committee contained proposals on the future funding of public service broadcasting. It examined putting control of collecting the licence fee into the hands...

- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019) Timmy Dooley: Looking at the Estimates generally and under various different subheads, I am sure they are compiled in this way with the exception of there being some major project or capital investment. They are generally 5% or 10% up or down on the previous year. It is the general way things have gone. I am not asking the Minister to look into the crystal ball for the next set of Estimates at which we...

- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2019
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019) Timmy Dooley: My concern was that it be technology-neutral but not the lowest price. That is important. There is nascent technology out there and if we are to try to become an industry leader or have some capacity to get ahead of the rest, it is really important that we try at this early stage to get some advantage in the offshore space. I accept that it is eight to ten years out but if we look at what...

From Fianna Fáil's and my perspective we were deeply concerned there was no clear methodology to ensure the funds that...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2019)
Timmy Dooley: If we take a break, Deputy Munster might read the text in question, which sets out a carbon price trajectory that rises to €80 per tonne by 2030. It states that it should only be implemented when an evidence-based plan is in place to increase supports and incentives for climate action measures, including the protection of those vulnerable to fuel poverty. The Deputy talked about the...
