Timmy Dooley: Clearly.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: That provides clarity. To move on to the discussion we had with Eir, I am sure ComReg will be familiar from media reports with its comments. The delegates may also be familiar with the position taken by the former chief executive, Mr. Moat, in his communications. He indicated that the process had become overly cumbersome, complex and burdensome. Based on what Eir told us, it would...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: On whether it can be done, at the end of the day it is about cost. A state could provide everyone with high speed broadband and build a motorway to everybody's door if it so wished, but would it have the capacity or financial wherewithal to do so? That is where we are caught.

Timmy Dooley: I mean no disrespect to Mr. Godfrey, but that is as clear as mud. Is that where transposition comes in?
- EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: Preventing catastrophic global temperature increases means rapid and deep decarbonisation in accordance with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Biodiversity loss is also an existential threat, which is fundamentally linked to the climate crisis. This House has made great strides in recent months in the form of the report of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Job Losses (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: The written response circulated on the Minister's behalf states:The challenge during the transition out of carbon intensive sources of fuel is to continue to support those communities and jobs associated with that business and to identify and develop new opportunities for employment. What vehicle will be used to do that? I ask the Minister to establish a task force with the specific...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Job Losses (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: Communities in west Clare are shocked by the ESB's recent announcement that it will cut about 100 full-time positions at Moneypoint power station. We recognise that Moneypoint's days as a coal-burning facility are numbered. There is a date in 2025 by which coal will no longer be burned. That is in line with our climate change commitments and is widely accepted in the community. However,...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Housing and Retrofitting: Discussion (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: I will be sharing with Deputy Lahart. I thank our guests for their presentations because they are helpful. From our perspective, we fully appreciate that, if we are going to make a meaningful impact on our carbon emissions, we must deal with the heating sector and home heating in particular so what our guests have talked about is relevant. My understanding is that much of the retrofit...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: I welcome Mr. O'Loughlin. We owe him a very considerable debt of gratitude for his courage in speaking out from within a very large, well-respected organisation. He has done a very considerable service to the company and the country for raising such important issues, recognising that it had to be done in an unorthodox way. What I want to try to understand first is Mr. O'Loughlin's current...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: I ask Mr. O'Loughlin to go back a little, before the making of the protected disclosures. He had a senior role in the company and had responsibility for health and safety matters. He has identified clearly how this worked. He recognised problems, identified solutions and then sought support through the organisation to have those solutions implemented. Does he believe that the organisation...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: When Mr. O'Loughlin raised these issues, something clearly happened that took him from a position of raising them to his then progressing to a protected disclosure. That is certainly a ratcheting up of his position. Perhaps he could talk to us about how he got to the point that he felt he had to go down the protected disclosure route.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: What I am trying to understand is whether Mr. O'Loughlin believes there is an appropriate level of governance within the organisation or a culture that is open to people such as him raising issues of serious concern.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: There has been a culture of silence around serious issues.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: ESB Networks: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2019)
Timmy Dooley: That speaks to a culture within the organisation that a problem ignored is a problem solved in some instances.
