Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I have an open mind on the proposal. This is not meant to be a partisan, political statement but I regularly sit in the Dáil Chamber where motions are passed instructing the Government and Ministers to do all sorts of things which are not done.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I am happy to support the proposal.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: To some extent, this is a bit like Hamlet without the prince. Maybe we should have the just transition commissioner before the committee before making a decision. We should not jump the gun. We had a good discussion and we heard both sides. I would like to hear from Kieran Mulvey to find out where he is at because we do not want to hamstring him either. Mr. Mulvey will be charged with...

Personal Assistance Service: Motion (19 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I wish to take this opportunity to thank Deputy Pringle and others for bringing this important motion to the House. I am very familiar with the issue of personal assistance and its importance to the lives of people with disabilities. I am in this position because of a very strong advocacy group that has existed in County Clare for many years. This very strong and active advocacy group,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Illegal Dumping: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Dr. Ryan and his team for their comprehensive statement. The EPA has been so frank and open that there is not a lot to question in the detail. ESB Networks clearly had information that it did not share with the appropriate authorities. It was aware of the leaks because it did provide information on them to the EPA at a later stage. It is clear that at a minimum, the company failed...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Illegal Dumping: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: All of the other leaks that have now been highlighted would not have come to light but for the work of "RTÉ Investigates" and the involvement of the whistleblower. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Illegal Dumping: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: This was my only question but I wish to comment on the matter. This vindicates the actions of the whistleblower and "RTÉ Investigates" for bringing such important information to the fore, which now allows the EPA to do its work. We have had difficulties with the ESB in the past regarding the way in which the whistleblower was being treated. I know this is a HR issue and I do not want...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Illegal Dumping: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I suggest, in light of what we have heard, that we invite ESB back in about this issue. I do not want to get into details but, as have others here, I have had considerable interaction with the whistleblower. He has gone through hell in this time. For some time, the ESB sought to distance itself from discussing the individual issues of the whistleblower. I think we should invite the ESB to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Illegal Dumping: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Illegal Dumping: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Nov 2019)

Timmy Dooley: The EPA is dealing with what is effectively a semi-State company. This is not a fly-by-night operator that is trying to cut margins. It has a monopoly. It is a large-scale company. The principle of self-reporting works well. It is how Revenue collects its money from the vast majority of taxpayers who, in the last number of days, have been filing their returns. It does so on the basis of...

Personal Explanation by Members (24 Oct 2019)
