Environmental Impact of Quarries and Incinerators: Motion [Private Members] (4 Dec 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to address this important debate. I thank my colleague, Deputy O'Dea, for tabling this motion. He and I operate in side by side constituencies and we are equally disturbed by the proposals to put an incinerator in place that will impact negatively on the livelihoods of people in the region. We do not believe it is acceptable to our communities. Nor is it right...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Overcrowding (4 Dec 2019)

Timmy Dooley: All of that sounds fantastic, but the reality is that it is not having an impact on the ground. Trolley numbers at University Hospital Limerick are still unacceptably high and are entirely out of sync with every other hospital in the country. The only solution is for the Minister to appoint a senior official within the HSE or the Department of Health, or an external independent consultant,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Overcrowding (4 Dec 2019)

I am disappointed that the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, has not got the time, inclination or interest to be here to discuss such an important issue. He has no problem, however, travelling to Limerick next week to participate in the opening of what is referred to as the health...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Data Collection by Digital Assistants: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Dec 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I thank the witnesses for coming in. This is helpful. Our concerns were probably aroused by the information that came about as a result of the situation Mr. Davis talked about at Apple. It was a surprise to many people that data was captured in this way, that it was stored, that it was later used and that it was reviewed by humans, albeit to enhance the user experience. The biggest...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Data Collection by Digital Assistants: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Dec 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Apple identified a unique random identifier. Is Mr. Davis saying that under no circumstances, whether a law enforcement request or whatever, Apple could find some key to trace that back, at a minimum, to the device, recognising that the device will present itself elsewhere using other codes that are connected with an email and a telephone number?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: It was a very interesting presentation. Mr. Cogan makes a compelling case about the impact it can have upfront and the fact there is no requirement to adapt the internal combustion engine or to make any major modifications at the forecourt. My only concern relates to the availability of the product and its sustainability. I look on it from the point of view of the importation of fracked...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion (27 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: There are a number of plants here. If, as Mr. Cogan states, there is such a dearth of the product in global supply, there is no need for additional infrastructure to be built.
