- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: The IABA went on in that statement to state the following:This, we believe is yet another clear example of Sport Ireland’s officials seeking to go beyond their authority and its statutory mandate and act Ultra Vires their statutory power or remit. The agency has a track record and form in this regard and has paid dearly for it in the past. Why did the IABA think it necessary to...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: I thank everyone for this open engagement. It has been helpful, although whether it gets us to where we need to be is another question. From what we have heard over the course of today and what we have read in recent days, Mr. Walsh was head coach and thede facto high performance director even though he had never been appointed to the latter role. Something was stated that I was not aware...

Timmy Dooley: Who was that person? I presume that it is a matter of record.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: He did not take up the position. It could be inferred from that that Mr. Walsh felt out of sorts because he was not the chosen one. He was offered another position. This sets the context in which he began his discussions with the IABA following an offer that he would have had to consider, given that the IABA was never going to make him the high performance director. In February, he got an...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Departure of High Performance Unit Head Coach: IABA and Sport Ireland (28 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: I will conclude on this point. On the premise that Billy Walsh had proven himself time out of number and was worthy of the title of high performance director, was consideration given to going with that and all that flows from the position of director, in terms of answerability and being able to decide himself? I do not wish to nit-pick but Mr. Christle made a point earlier in which he...

- Report of the Joint Committee on European Union Affairs on Voting Rights of Irish Citizens Abroad: Motion (23 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister of State for his response and thank Deputy Hannigan for the way in which he set out the committee's position. I was the Fianna Fáil representative on the committee. Like others, we participated in a full and frank way in an effort to improve the position as it relates to the capacity of Irish citizens abroad to continue to participate in our electoral democracy. ...
- Order of Business (22 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: A report in this morning's The Irish Timesmade for disturbing reading. Figures from the Road Safety Authority, RSA, show that 521 disqualified drivers have been involved in car crashes that caused serious injury and death. This is unacceptable to us all. In that context, when are the road traffic and database Bills intended to be before the House? I hope the Tánaiste will be able to...

- Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: It is clear from the Tánaiste's response that she understands the gravity of the situation and the importance of Irish Rail's activities. I think she appreciates the important work the workers are doing. It is fine that she has made those observations, but in her position as Tánaiste she is in a position to make a substantial contribution to resolving this issue. I suggest the...
- Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2015)
Timmy Dooley: -----will recall, when this Government came into office, it appointed a Minister of State with responsibility for public transport only for that office subsequently to disappear under the cover of a Cabinet reshuffle. The Minister of State in question did not disappear but was elevated to his current position as Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, and he has had his...
