Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion (2 Jul 2024)

Timmy Dooley: I wish to make a comment on that. Regarding the report on the circular economy, it is all about utilising assets insofar as we can.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Summer Plans for Dublin and Cork Airports: DAA (19 Jun 2024)

Timmy Dooley: I am tight on time, but before Mr. MacCarthy contributes, I wish to raise a matter that relates to the cap on parking at Dublin. Has anyone examined the idea of the airport having a park-and-ride facility in Naas or somewhere similar on the western road? My mother trained as a nurse in the UK. In her early days of travelling to the UK, people would check in somewhere on O’Connell...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 May 2024)

Timmy Dooley: I am sure the Acting Leader and Leas-Chathaoirleach will join with me and others in recognising the efforts of careful and true diplomacy over rhetoric and rushing to judgment.
