- 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)
Timmy Dooley: I think we are becoming involved in a debate about parenting.
- 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.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (Resumed) (17 Jul 2014)
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...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: GAA and Aiken Promotions (16 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: I suggest that when the public meeting concludes, we could have a discussion and see if we can proceed with any action that might be helpful.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: GAA and Aiken Promotions (16 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: My question has been partly covered. What I wanted to establish by the end of this meeting, having heard all viewpoints, was whether there was still a window of opportunity. The delegates are saying there is. Mr. Aiken has identified one particular solution - creating a legislative route that would allow for a review of the decision that has been made. Somebody would have to sit...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Concert Licensing: GAA and Aiken Promotions (16 Jul 2014)
Timmy Dooley: Considering that Mr. Keegan was prepared to offer Mr. Aiken one extra concert and recognising the massive impact of the decision, that is difficult to understand. It is not the ideal way in which to do business, but, unfortunately, although I hate the phrase, we are where we are.

Timmy Dooley: The best chance of that is for the Senator to head to Government Buildings and speak to the Taoiseach.
