Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: With an antigen test?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Does Mr. Bassato have data on any follow-up tests that were done on the US side? When the protocol changed in January that required passengers travelling from Italy to the US to take a Covid test prior to departure, was there a corresponding requirement for a validatory check on the US side? If so, can he provide any data in that regard?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. Bassato for his assistance to the committee.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Dr. Kenny has given us some very good food for thought. As he knows, our biggest concern is getting the aviation sector back in motion again. It is really about providing something to our public health professionals, who seem to have rather undue influence on the Department of Transport because we are not seeing anything coming forward from the Department by way of a plan to get aviation...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: When Mr. Lord says "including the equipment", is this a licensing arrangement or is it-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Nuevo Ireland is not offering a service whereby it puts in place the infrastructure at an airport and provides the service to the airport, airline or whatever. It is not a service provider but a technology-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I will give an example. If we had planes back in the air going through Shannon Airport in the morning and we were back to, say, 300-400 passengers per day, a fraction of what would have been going through, talk me through that scenario. How many personnel would be needed on site to get it done within an hour? Give us an idea of how that might work.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: So we are talking about €50 and a delay of about three hours. On the availability of the equipment, Mr. Lord said it was in the US. If Ireland was to move in this way as part of the introduction of the digital green cert and in conjunction with everything else that is happening across Europe, and if Mr. Lord was told that aviation would be beginning again by 1 July, how easy would it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Could Nuevo Ireland have 200 machines here for 1 June or 10 June?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Okay. That would do a small fraction of passengers. Will Mr. Lord provide the committee with a bit more detail around that, recognising where we would like to get to in terms of recovery-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: -----lead times, delivery times and all of that?

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I call on the Leader to organise a debate on the Irish Water investment programme at the earliest opportunity. Every county in the country has issues with water and wastewater. In west Clare, there is a very serious issue with an ageing asbestos water pipe network that has been there for more than 50 years and has gone beyond its operational life span. There are recurring incidents of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Like others, I believe we have identified what was laid out at the weekend in terms of the housing crisis. The idea of global investment funds purchasing houses that were meant to be for first-time buyers has been responded to with shock. That shock has turned into outrage because it seems this practice is about to continue unabated. I welcome the position that the Taoiseach and the...

Seanad: European Digital Green Certificate: Statements (7 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Like others, I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Byrne, and thank him for the work he has done on this issue to date. I know that, committed European that he is, as we all like to think we are in this House, this is a welcome development. It is about underpinning one of the four fundamental freedoms upon which the European Union was founded and exists. I am relatively pleased with the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report of the Covid-19 Rapid Testing Group: Discussion with Science Foundation Ireland (5 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Professor Ferguson for his comprehensive report. On the wider use of antigen testing, I have been contacted by individuals who believe there is an opportunity to carry out antigen testing within the hotel experience. There is concern that some people will be hesitant to visit hotels when they open next month owing to the mixing that takes place within a hotel environment. Based on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report of the Covid-19 Rapid Testing Group: Discussion with Science Foundation Ireland (5 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: How confident is Professor Ferguson that the existing tests will be sensitive to the variants? How quickly can the sensitivity of the kits be changed? Obviously, a great deal has been learned over recent months, but how quickly can testing be adapted to identify the variants that now exist?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report of the Covid-19 Rapid Testing Group: Discussion with Science Foundation Ireland (5 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: I will ask a final question if I may.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Report of the Covid-19 Rapid Testing Group: Discussion with Science Foundation Ireland (5 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Are all antigen tests the same? Is there a standard?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (4 May 2021)

Timmy Dooley: Many of the issues I wished to raise have already been clarified. I thank our guests. I wish to refine one or two points. Professor Stout is absolutely right regarding the way in which some of the schemes have penalised farmers for keeping land that was ultimately a benefit to the environment, biodiversity and nature generally. If a farmer allows certain scrubland to remain in that state,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (4 May 2021)
