Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Aviation Issues (1 Oct 2013)

Timmy Dooley: The Minister's reply does not adequately address the concerns arising from the allegations set out in this programme. Where any question is raised in regard to passenger safety there will inevitably be concern. Another cause for concern is the potential reputational damage to the airline in question as a result of the charges made against it. I assumed the Minister would have initiated...

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: FÁS Local Training Initiatives Places (26 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: 98. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a person (details supplied) in County Clare is only receiving a portion of their training allowance while participating on a FÁS course; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40230/13]

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: Amendment No. 96 is about providing the same level of representation. Tiománaí Tacsaí na hÉireann believes it represents a large number of individual taxi drivers but has not been part of the consultation process to the extent it could have been. If the Minister of State could give some comfort to individual taxi drivers as to how their voices will be heard, then I will...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: Will the Minister of State consider submitting a draft list of appointments to the advisory committee to the transport committee prior to their confirmation?

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: It is right to bring forward this amendment. There was some considerable concern about the impact the legislation would have had on community groups referred to by the Minister of State. We will therefore certainly be supporting this amendment.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I support the amendment. I, too, have been contacted by people who are licensed and who have concerns about people who are hiring cars out from showrooms, particularly for weddings and graduations. The Minister should be careful about funerals and hearses. We want to ensure we do not cause any difficulties there.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I move amendment No. 37: In page 30, subsection (1), line 2, to delete “maximum” where it firstly occurs and substitute “national”.It is not a major issue but the amendments sets out that there will be a national fare. It is appropriate that the same fare is in existence across the State and that we enshrine that principle in the legislation.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: Just to clarify, the purpose behind the amendment is to effectively set the price for the provision of the service. Where there is just a maximum, it is open to operators to decide on the price and to set the price for a journey at whatever level they choose. That poses problems whereby some people ignore the rules and regulations, ply for trade for a relatively short period of time,...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: On the basis that the Minister of State accepts in principle the spirit of what I am trying to achieve and has indicated that what I desire will be provided for in secondary legislation, I am prepared to withdraw my amendment.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I move amendment No. 20: In page 18, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following subsection:“(5) All decisions by the licensing authority which have the effect of limiting or interfering with the licence holder’s ability to operate the licence shall be reviewed at the request of the licence holder, such request to be made within two weeks of the said decision to an...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: To clarify, if there were to be an authority, the conditions would reside elsewhere. I do not have a problem in principle with the mechanism.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I move amendment No. 26: In page 19, between lines 32 and 33, to insert the following subsection:“(3) A licence holder shall be prohibited from renting his or her licence or taxi to a holder of a stamp 2 visa.”.The Minister of State has already introduced a section which I complimented that deals with the part-time issue that has bedevilled the industry. This issue deals...

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: On a point of order, we have a lot of amendments to get through. I am not trying to tell the Chairman how to do his business, but I do not think we should get into badger baiting today.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: The Deputy should not let my comments upset him.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the amendment as I raised the matter on Second Stage. It will be helpful in dealing with the concerns expressed by a lot of people, particularly those concerned about the inability of part-time operators to effectively provide a safe service. It also strengthens the intention, even though that was unintentional. As a side effect, the business will be strengthened and made viable....

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I reserve the right to table an amendment on Report Stage if there is not an adequate response from the NTA to resolve the issue. It is allowing these operators to tidy up their business and to transfer in the existing licence. I accept that one cannot transfer a licence but where the company and the directors are effectively all the one, a mechanism should be found to allow this to happen.

Committee on Transport and Communications: Select Sub-Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Taxi Regulation Bill 2012: Committee Stage (25 Sep 2013)

Timmy Dooley: I move amendment No. 10: In page 12, to delete line 19 and substitute the following:"8.—(1) A licence shall not be granted to an applicant unless he or she has been vetted by the Garda Vetting Unit. (2) The Authority may by regulations ("assessment".I have some concerns about the assessment of applicants with regard to their suitability and potential health issues. The legislation...
