- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Revised) (21 Mar 2018) Timmy Dooley: The only point that I have not addressed in the past is electric vehicles and the lack of chargers. The Minister has talked about an increase in rapid chargers. Collectively, we will have to find a way to get many more charging points out there. I am hearing it consistently from people who have taken quite some time to get to a point where they are prepared to purchase an electric car....
- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Revised) (21 Mar 2018) Timmy Dooley: An issue we discussed extensively last year was waste management and potential difficulties arising from changes in the way in which recyclable materials would be collected. As the Minister knows, it is on the agenda again, with a particular company changing its charging structure. At the time there was much talk about the necessity to change consumer behaviour and I know that some money...
- Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Revised) (21 Mar 2018) Timmy Dooley: The Minister might reflect on this point when dealing with the waste collection companies. I am hearing from householders who have adopted brown bins that they are too small. Canister-style bins are given in many areas because the companies do not want too much grass and other materials to be put into them. In the area with which I am familiar householders have told me that the units being...

- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Timmy Dooley: The media are an integral part of public life. The Fourth Estate plays a crucial role in Irish democratic life. At its best, it holds the institutions of the State and others to account in the interests of the people. The media hold up politicians to public scrutiny, while increasing transparency and strengthening democracy. They inform and educate citizens, providing an important...
- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Timmy Dooley: When the nation tuned into RTE, TV3 and other broadcast media, why did we have to listen to the Taoiseach first and, on some occasions, the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, before we got to listen to Mr. Seán Hogan, head of the National Emergency Coordination Group?
- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Timmy Dooley: With respect, if the Minister allows me to finish, I wanted to hear from Mr. Hogan, not from him or the Taoiseach.
- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Timmy Dooley: All the Minister and the Taoiseach were doing was regurgitating information which had been provided by the co-ordination group. The strategic communications unit was carrying out an exercise to promote the Government, the Taoiseach and the Minister. Who we really needed to hear from were the experts.
- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Timmy Dooley: We have been told that the strategic communications unit has been involved in developing a campaign around the proposed national children's hospital and how it might be sold to the people. When the hospital is open, the children who will need access to it will get there through professional channels. The public does not need to be enlightened on a project way into the future. However,...
- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Timmy Dooley: Where the spending of the money could have some benefit, the Government has failed. That is because it does not create an aura, an image or a gloss around Fine Gael as a political party. It might be of benefit to the environment or in meeting our requirements under climate change objectives, but the Government is not interested in doing that.
- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Timmy Dooley: The Government is only interested in presenting and pushing itself. We are supporting the motion for obvious reasons. The strategic communications unit is not focusing on changing behaviour but on attempting to change people's voting patterns.
