- Statement by Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment (18 Apr 2018)
Timmy Dooley: On 6 December 2016, in response to a question as to what the Minister's intentions were in response to the proposed Celtic media takeover, he stated "I have not made my views known and I am not going to." He said it would be "not appropriate for me to provide any further comment while this case is under consideration". By his own admission, on 12 November the Minister communicated...
- Statement by Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment (18 Apr 2018)
Timmy Dooley: Is the Minister disputing the reported contents of the email that now forms part of the affidavit? Is he disputing that Mr. Ó Neachtain understood from the Minister that he intended to refer the decision to the BAI? Is he disputing those facts?
- Statement by Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment (18 Apr 2018)
Timmy Dooley: It is not credible that a public relations executive hired by a company of the size and scale of INM would attempt to mislead his client. It seems very clear to me from what is reported today that the email communicated with some considerable level of a definite understanding that the Minister would ultimately send the decision to the BAI. As I understand it, the Minister is disputing this,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Influence of Social Media on Elections and Referenda: Discussion (17 Apr 2018)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome Ms Dixon and Ms Neary and thank them for their presentations. They talked about Internet segments. Are those Internet segments published? Do we have some understanding of what they are or what kind of silos are created? Ms Neary talked about purchasing books. That seems a rather benign example. There may be others that would be helpful. Is it the case that some social media...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Influence of Social Media on Elections and Referenda: Discussion (17 Apr 2018)
Timmy Dooley: We have written to the commissioner through the clerk asking that she might update us on the job of work she is undertaking in respect of what is alleged as a data breach at Independent News and Media, INM. I do not wish her to go beyond what she would want to say here in respect of the fact that this is before the courts. We have grave concerns about the potential impact that any data...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Influence of Social Media on Elections and Referenda: Discussion (17 Apr 2018)
Timmy Dooley: For clarity, I am almost sure that what I have said in now way seeks to address anything that is going on in the courts. It is looking at what might be done regardless of the outcome of this particular event. I am concerned about protecting the data of journalists in particular because of the role that the fourth estate has in our democracy. It is of fundamental importance. For that...

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. Kaplan and Ms Sweeney for their attendance. I will begin with a couple of comments. I would like the witnesses to address a number of matters arising from the written submission provided to the committee before the meeting. It notes that "As our CEO explained last week, Facebook is an idealistic and optimistic company" and then goes on to state:it's clear now that we...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Online Advertising and Social Media (Transparency) Bill 2017 and the Influence of Social Media: Discussion (17 Apr 2018)
Timmy Dooley: We are talking about data in regard to a Facebook member rather than anyone else who might access a site. When a Facebook member accesses a site other than one within the Facebook platform at a particular time, some data is created which is connected to them through their Facebook connection. Is that data stored, with the profile of that individual, in perpetuity?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Online Advertising and Social Media (Transparency) Bill 2017 and the Influence of Social Media: Discussion (17 Apr 2018)
Timmy Dooley: Perhaps both. Taking that chunk of data, in Facebook's opinion, who owns the data, that is, the data Facebook has collected in tracking me rather than the information that I have voluntarily posted? This is tracking data as much as anything else.
