Timmy Dooley: I do not want to get into it. I think I am trending on Twitter. I have insulted Metallica fans.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (18 Jul 2014)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (18 Jul 2014)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (18 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Let us put that in context because we do not want to have another session here next week and bring back Páraic Duffy again. I recall his comments on the television, made in the context of the Mulvey proposals. They were made in an effort to try to mitigate the concerns. The opening statement was that it was too big an ask and therefore something more had to be done. Mr. Keegan...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (18 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: It seems those issues were blindingly obvious to Mr. Keegan in February, when he had that conversation with Mr. McKenna and gave the impression that he would be supportive in a general way. That is without the issue of assurances. We all accept that and we know how the process works. The witness did not have the authority to give assurances at that stage but he gave Mr. McKenna some...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (18 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: To be clear, Mr. Keegan indicated that the conversation with Mr. Peter McKenna contained an expression from Mr. Keegan that he was supportive of five concerts. That is what he has said.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (18 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: How was it at that stage that he did not envisage a breach of precedent, which has been cited as a reason for refusal? The witness was aware the three One Direction concerts had taken place and the planning stipulation allowed three concerts. The three events for the year had already taken place. Mr. Keegan should have been aware of the precedent issue and he should certainly have been...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (18 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: The witness has spoken about the profile of the concerts. Is any consideration given to the artist concerned? We are not talking about Metallica and the event would not be a massive rave. Anyone who looked at the profile of the people who purchased tickets could fairly assume that it was not going to be a drunken bash in Croke Park for five nights. Issues that have arisen in respect of...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Jul 2014)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: I thank the witnesses for the presentations, which are helpful. Much of the work they do is in areas other than finance so we will not really get into the detail. It is welcome that the witnesses got an opportunity to put what they do on the record. Our focus is on trying to assist them in whatever way we can in making the point as it relates to the budget. I am very impressed by the...

Timmy Dooley: I know that.

Timmy Dooley: That is helpful. I think Senator Byrne covered more of it. We regularly hear from Ms O'Meara and the Irish Cancer Society. I fully support this notion of continuing to step up the tax take. The work done by Acquired Brain Injury Ireland is fantastic and often goes unnoticed. It is one of those unseen heroes of the particular sector in which it works. It is reasonable for us to set...
