Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I will continue in the same vein by wishing Mr. Mulvey well. He has certainly demonstrated the capacity to work with people in everything he has done and I am encouraged by the importance he has placed on the need for boots on the ground and understanding the potential in the various regions. I am disappointed by the terms of reference, and while that is not Mr. Mulvey's issue, I would...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Forestry and Climate Change: Discussion (11 Dec 2019)

Timmy Dooley: As a Deputy in a rural constituency, I regularly get representations from landholders who are very put out by the changes to the appropriate assessment. I understand the background to it but I think, at best, that one could say that the Department's response has been less than one would have expected. It should not be a surprise to the Department or the Government that we should have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Forestry and Climate Change: Discussion (11 Dec 2019)

Timmy Dooley: That is important. Ms Hurley has made a good point. Coillte is observing what is going on in the farming sector at the minute with the more marginal land, which was borderline viable at a stage. However, the beef and suckler cow sectors have changed. The next generation may not have the same attachment to such land but they certainly do not see a future in it and, therefore, opportunities...

My party absolutely supports public service broadcasting and we have done that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion (10 Dec 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Is this the "one RTÉ" agenda Ms Forbes mentioned?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion (10 Dec 2019)

Timmy Dooley: On a day-to-day level the silos still exist. We have radio, television----- The platforms still exist and they always will. The thinking is what is changing within RTÉ. It is very important that we do not simply think of a programme as being on television or on radio. It could go across the pieces. That is the structural aspect. It is also important to refer to the strategy we put...

I would like a breakdown of that €60...
