Timmy Dooley: I, too, want to be associated with the remarks about the late Tras Honan, somebody whom I knew well. Long before I was elected to this House, I got to know her and I served with her on a number of committees. She was a forthright and brilliant woman, a wonderful character. She had a very insightful mind. There will be an opportunity, I am sure, here for us to express sympathies in greater...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)
Timmy Dooley: It is about the user experience of those who have to use the south gates on a regular basis. These are people who come in late at night from a long way away and, notwithstanding paying high air fares, do not have tunnel access or an air bridge.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Management of Passenger Numbers at Dublin Airport: Discussion (22 Nov 2023)
Timmy Dooley: I suggest that the DAA should manage its demand in a way that looked at the overall piece by taking cargo flights out of Dublin, say it is closed for cargo business and that the next business it will concentrate on are the passengers that need to be in Dublin. It will then be able to get a little more. If the DAA said to Fingal County Council that it was getting rid of its cargo business,...
