Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate (Resumed) (19 Apr 2023)

Timmy Dooley: That is good to hear. I have regular interaction with Pat Keating, the chief executive, at this committee and because of where I live and the area I seek to represent. From a public service point of view, he is one of the finest in terms of the work he does, the vision he has shown and the effort he has put in. That is obviously a really important part of driving that forward. I attended...

Timmy Dooley: ...of years. I recall when the company had reached a point where its future viability was very uncertain. Well done on that. That is not to say I do not have some criticisms. Maybe that was the pat on the back before the kick in the ass but I have always had concerns about the network and I have expressed them to both the witnesses at different stages. While the profitability of the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: National Broadband Plan Implementation (16 Apr 2019)

Timmy Dooley: ...of new more expensive plan. That claim does not stand up. I draw the Minister of State's attention to a statement made by the then Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Mr. Pat Rabbitte, in 2012 that the Government's commitment was to high-speed broadband availability throughout the country during its lifetime. That was the Government of 2012 that lasted until 2016....

Timmy Dooley: ...we were in 2012. We are no further on in understanding when that intervention area is going to have a broadband service. I could go back through the Official Report to when the former Minister, Pat Rabbitte introduced the project and when the former Minister, Alex White and others sought to move it on. There was talk of a delay of a month, two months, then it became six months. The...

National Tourism Development Authority (Amendment) Bill 2015: Second Stage (21 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: ...is an area we have failed to capture and not mastered, as well as our neighbours in the United Kingdom. There are issues around visas and access, but we should not exclude it from our sights. I know that it is a costly market to target, but our ex-pat community could be energised more in spreading the word and encouraging activity from these regions. The figures should primarily be seen...

Flooding: Statements (13 Jan 2016)

Timmy Dooley: ...turlough system. Places like Newmarket and Sixmilebridge include small tributaries up to the Shannon estuary which flooded homes on an individual basis. I think in particular of people such as Pat Corrigan, whose home was flooded over the course of a very short period of time. I have discussed others in the past. Places like Sixmilebridge, because of the drainage system, have caused...

Topical Issue Debate: Flood Prevention Measures (15 Dec 2015)

Other Questions: Ambulance Service Provision (22 Oct 2015)

Timmy Dooley: ...Minister's commitment to reconfiguration. One of the main concerns around the reconfiguration process was that the benefits to the system would be realised, but that the potential upside for the patient would not in terms of the provision of ambulance cover. I am confident the Minister understands reconfiguration, but I am not sure the mandarins in the Department of Finance fully embrace...

Topical Issue Debate: Broadcast Advertising Standards Regulation (8 May 2014)

Timmy Dooley: ...stands up to competition rules generally, but that is for another jurisdiction. The Minister of State's considered response seems to be at variance with the comments of the Minister, Deputy Pat Rabbitte, when he indicated his view that if he were the person making the decision - I am paraphrasing him - he would have allowed the advertisement to run. Consumers generally can be given...

Topical Issue Debate: Broadcast Advertising Standards Regulation (8 May 2014)

Timmy Dooley: ...a call to action, that is, a call to consumers to act in a certain manner, whether it is purchasing a product or availing of a service. The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Pat Rabbitte, has hinted publicly that he shares my analysis. I call him to action by way of asking RTE management to reconsider its position. The broadcaster has worked hard in...

Recent Flooding: Statements (12 Feb 2014)

Timmy Dooley: ...to the European fund. I met Commissioner Johannes Hahn. In 2009, I also met the then Commissioner. Although the threshold is high, Commissioner Hahn explained to our delegation, which was organised by Mr. Pat The Cope Gallagher, MEP, that an application made on a regional basis might not be subject to the same threshold. He was careful in his language and stated that he would work with...

Timmy Dooley: ...must be above a certain threshold, and the Commissioner believes Ireland would be best suited to considering it on a regional basis.

Timmy Dooley: ...a structure is non-existent, under the definition of the family in the Constitution. In such circumstances, they often fall under the control of older children and teenagers. That is how the cycle of participation in gang structures develops and evolves. Society is failing to recognise that the culmination of the neglect that has been allowed to develop is evident when young men in...
