- Other Questions: Electric Vehicles (21 Nov 2017)
Timmy Dooley: I support everything that my colleague, Deputy Stanley, said about home parking. We do not need pilot projects for a couple of aspects, only common sense. People need to be able to charge at home and where they go ultimately. The majority of trips are to work or shopping centres. People park in the environs of their workplaces or public or private car parks. The Department and the...

- Other Questions: Electric Vehicles (21 Nov 2017)
Timmy Dooley: The Minister is well aware of the importance of getting a shift in the way in which people use private vehicles. In particular, we need to move away from the burning of fossil fuels and electric vehicles would seem to be an appropriate method of addressing our climate change obligations and improving citizens' behaviour in that regard. I ask the Minister to give us some understanding of how...
- Other Questions: Electric Vehicles (21 Nov 2017)
Timmy Dooley: The budget did little to support a greater uptake of electric vehicles. The elimination of benefit-in-kind on a one year basis is a disincentive. Companies, as the Minister knows, seek certainty around their asset base and how they are taxed and very few will invest if it is just for one year. The Minister could nearly substitute the words "electric vehicle" for "broadband" in what he...

- Priority Questions: National Broadband Plan Implementation (21 Nov 2017)
Timmy Dooley: The Minister's response is as ridiculous as if José Mourinho, when asked about the performance of Manchester United, were to respond by telling us how Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are doing. I asked the Minister to outline on numerous occasions in this House where the Government is at in respect of the national broadband plan in providing high-speed broadband to those 542,000...

- Priority Questions: National Broadband Plan Implementation (21 Nov 2017)
Timmy Dooley: I do not know if the Minister's constituency office is as inundated as is mine with people who are concerned about the issue. I am sure it is but I do not intend to offer such a solution to anybody. I refer in particular to families where children come home at the weekend from college or with secondary schoolchildren. I do not want to say that they should toddle off to the community centre...
