- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: 25 Years of Independent Broadcasting: Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (15 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome Mr. Purcell, Mr. Collins, Mr. Williams and Ms Ní Choisdealbha. It is worth recognising that we regularly have representatives of the IBI before us and they do exceptionally good work on behalf of the independent group of local radio stations. It is nice to have them here to celebrate something. It is rather rare for members, as public representatives, to invite the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (15 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: The interesting thing is that Mr. Keegan showed such vigour in trying to establish any potential conflict of interest we might have, notwithstanding that we are governed by SIPO and House rules. What system does Mr. Keegan have in place to deal with potential conflicts of interest in Dublin City Council or is that an area he might consider reviewing in light of what has transpired today?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (15 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Mr. Keegan still has not explained the major difference between allowing four events and allowing five, considering he showed flexibility. He must take into consideration that there was exceptional demand for this artist. At first two concerts were planned, then three, and such was the demand that the promoter and the artist continued to sell the tickets in the genuine expectation that the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (15 Jul 2014)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council (15 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome the officials and thank them for their presentation. There are several aspects to this debacle, into one of which we will not get today, although we will have to deal with it in the future, that is, how 400,000 tickets were sold for an event which had not yet been licensed. That probably reflects on the Oireachtas more than it does the council, but it is the main issue that needs...

- Order of Business (10 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: I have a question on it. In the light of the statements the Tánaiste and her party made on entering Government with Fine Gael and her desire to try to have the business of the House more appropriately dealt with, is it not ironic that in the latter days of the term we are rushing through such a phenomenal amount of legislation in the next two days? In her new role, the Tánaiste...
