Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Statements (11 Oct 2018)

Timmy Dooley: As someone who sought this debate to try to shine a light on the status of the national broadband plan, given what has been revealed over the last couple of days, I certainly do not believe a discussion is relevant at this stage as there is no Minister here to address it. I feel great sympathy for Deputy Naughten given the decision he has had to take today. Nobody on this side of the House...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Television Licence Fee Collection (10 Oct 2018)

Timmy Dooley: The Minister has conceded that it was a decision by the Government and himself not to support the post office network.

He could have broken with tradition and moved towards a new policy position in which the State would, in special...
