Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: That is okay. I will keep it very brief. I thank Mr. Cullen for his presence here and thank him on behalf of his organisation and the work it does for his ongoing engagement with the political process. He is probably one of the most active in terms of his engagement with this committee and other Members around matters that are of serious concern, not just to his members, but to the wider...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: That was my next question. Is there a documented history of information being provided to the Irish Aviation Authority, IAA? They need not get into it in detail. Maybe they can provide it to the committee afterwards. Is there evidence that shows there has been ongoing communication with the IAA over a period of time? Is it fair to say that nothing happened until an accident occurred, all...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: That brings me to the next point. That sets a context for the legislation, which we are now being asked to rubber-stamp or accept, coming from Government which ultimately is a culmination of discussions that have gone on, principally within the Department of Transport, I would have thought, in consultation with the IAA. They are effectively saying to us as legislators that we do not really...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: It is not so much the maps for me now. That sets a context where the IAA - I do not want to apportion blame - certainly did not seem to take cognisance of the errors that existed on maps up to a point. That is probably for somewhere else to be adjudicated on, but for us to take as a context in which we address the points that are being raised by the pilots.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: Not at all, but it has been highlighted where the charts were prior to a particular event and how they improved afterwards. Based on what has been raised with us, and particularly with what Mr. Brereton has talked about, we need to bring the aviation authority and the Department back in to discuss that peer support issue. I am taken by the evidence that was given today. We all accept that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I am familiar with one or two of them. I knew the families. That is the most striking thing that has been highlighted today. Based on the evidence, there is nothing more they can tell me-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: -----that we have to consider after that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Engagement with the Irish Air Line Pilots' Association (15 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I would suggest then, in conclusion, following on from whatever other discussions there are with other members, that the Chairman, on behalf of the committee, would write to the Department and the IAA and we bring them back in together to address this very specific issue. We might also seek the advice of an independent human resources expert who deals with mental health issues in the main to...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Tourism Industry (8 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the House to address this matter. As she will know, Shannon Heritage is the tourism attraction division of the Shannon Group. It comprises Bunratty Castle, King John's Castle, Craggaunowen Castle and Knappogue Castle. It has the management contracts for a number of other facilities around the country. As the Minister of State will know, this...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Tourism Industry (8 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister of State. I really appreciate her commitment and that of the Government to the recognition of the strategic importance of Shannon Heritage to the tourism offering of the island of Ireland. People in the mid-west are more than well aware of its importance and it is particularly pleasing to know that the same is true at the heart of Government. The Minister of State's...

Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: In light of what appears to be cross-party consensus that we must put a little more time and effort into this, I support the principle of the suspension being proposed, taking into account what the Minister of State has said. We do not want to in any way frustrate the work she is doing. There is an effort being made by IALPA and its members, and they really have no vested interest in this...

Seanad: Search and Rescue Policy: Motion (2 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: Will the Senator take a question? Is that permissible?

Seanad: Search and Rescue Policy: Motion (2 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: For clarity, the Senator talked about manipulation-----

Seanad: Search and Rescue Policy: Motion (2 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: It will only take two seconds.

Seanad: Search and Rescue Policy: Motion (2 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: The Senator said that "the business case was manipulated" and was an "effort to defraud". Are they his words, which is fine, or did I understand he was quoting the head of the Air Corps?

Seanad: Search and Rescue Policy: Motion (2 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: Okay.

Seanad: Search and Rescue Policy: Motion (2 Feb 2022)

Timmy Dooley: I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after “acknowledges that:” and substitute the following: - a Government decision was taken on 27th July, 2021, to commence the formal procurement process for the next Irish Coast Guard aviation services contract in line with the European Union (Award of Public Authority Contracts) Regulations 2016 (Statutory Instrument No....
