Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Issues Impacting the Taxi Industry: Discussion (14 Sep 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: ..., that the ask of the taxi drivers is a relatively straightforward one? We are coming out of a pandemic and many of the members of the organisations represented here today were not operating for a long period of time.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Situation at Dublin Airport: Discussion (26 Jul 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: We will take the figures I have given as being reasonably accurate. Will the Aer Lingus witnesses indicate how quickly they can pull back the 1,200 items and the Sky Handling Partner witnesses how long it will take to deal with the 2,897 outstanding claims? Will they indicate who passengers should contact in order to get access to their bags? I would also like to know the age profile of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: .... They have told me that EVs are great for urban driving but are not good on motorways because if one drives at any sort of high speed they burn into the battery. In many cases, one cannot drive long distances. Taxi drivers have tested EVs in great depth.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: ...do not see it as immediate. They see they will probably get one more car before moving to an EV. It comes down to cost. I take the point on the shift in mode. The average person might only do a long journey a couple of times a year but they want certainty. If I am on fossil fuel, I can pull in along the motorway and get diesel or petrol. There are factors and reliability. The devil...
