National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Any time I asked the Minister to give me a timeline, his simple answer was that it was not about timing and that the matter was far too important for that. He said it was more important to get it right because the contract was going to exist for 25 years. When I bring forward an idea about trying to get it right, however, time becomes a problem again. Time is only an issue when something...

National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Whether that is true, the Minister can confirm to me. The simple fact is that the process, at this stage, does not have the confidence of the people who expect to be served. Certainly, I do not have confidence in it. It is the Minister's prerogative. He has responsibility and, if he chooses to ignore the outcome of tomorrow's vote, let it be on his head. If the Minister gives any...

Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I am pleased to say that Fianna Fáil will be supporting this Bill, as we recognise the importance of making a strong shift away from our reliance on fossil fuels to cleaner, greener forms of energy. The Bill is part of a global campaign to highlight the need to reduce fossil fuel dependence to prevent dangerous temperature increases. The reality is that there is a climate change crisis...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Chairman for facilitating me. I am not a member of the committee, but I was made aware that two of my constituents were here. I was really impressed to see them on television last night. As they did an excellent job, I had better pull up my socks, as it seems that there is competition coming down the track. I was delayed in getting here because I was on the Today with Sean...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (7 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: Perhaps it is not rocket science as we seem to think. In a different generation parents had to deal with the advent of drink, drugs and other issues that had the potential to impact negatively on children. It is still a battle to address the issue of alcohol as some have the view that drugs are bad and drink is good. At what age do young people start to drink? The law indicates that a...

National Broadband Plan: Motion [Private Members] (6 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: For the past year and a half the Minister has failed to provide this House with answers to basic questions. When will the contract be signed, when will work begin and when will it be completed? When I have asked him those questions, he made it clear it is not about timing but about getting it right. However, all of a sudden, he has a plan and there are dates and times but my intervention...

Timmy Dooley: I move:That Dáil Éireann recognises that:— 542,000 homes, schools and businesses, representing 40 per cent of our population and 96 per cent of our geographic cover, have no access to broadband, with no possibility of connection on the horizon; — the ability of rural enterprises and farms to remain competitive and to carry out their administrative and commercial...

National Broadband Plan: Motion [Private Members] (6 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I was not aware of that but I am happy to sit on that again. With regard to the Minister's response to the situation, if it was not so serious it would certainly represent a comical gesture in this House. With one bidder left to take up this contract the Minister believes he will get shovels in the ground more quickly, he will get the job done ahead of schedule and he will get value for...
