To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the plans she has to develop the tourism product and experience throughout the Lough Derg areas of counties Tipperary, Clare and Galway, particularly given the huge improvement in access to the area that is being provided through the construction of the Shannon Crossing between Ballina and Killaloe.

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourist Accommodation (21 Feb 2023)
Alan Kelly: Something I am very passionate about is tourism. I used to work in Bord Fáilte, which is now Fáilte Ireland. I refer to the whole visitor experience and promotion of the area around Lough Derg, namely, north Tipperary, east Clare and south Galway. During Covid, the real issue for me was that people's experience and what they saw of the area was significant. It is a hidden...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourist Accommodation (21 Feb 2023)
Alan Kelly: I am well aware of that work, some of which I am involved in. There have been four plans since 2014. The first one was the new marketing plan, Discover Lough Derg: life by the lake. There was a €10 million proposal for this, which was not spent in its entirety. We had the Hidden Heartlands plan that my former colleagues developed, which came a couple of years later and fit into...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourist Accommodation (21 Feb 2023)
Alan Kelly: I say this in all sincerity because it is a matter about which I am very passionate. The number of people who saw the area around Lough Derg during Covid was fantastic. The hotel in Athenry burned down. We have one hotel in Nenagh and one in Ballina. As for trying to provide accommodation, it is virtually impossible because no one can get planning. We have fantastic natural attractions....

- Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2023)
Alan Kelly: I want to thank everybody. I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for the way in which she dealt with this. I thank the Minister for the way in which he engaged. I thank his officials and particularly thank the Deputies who sat through this, Deputies Cullinane and Shortall, for the way that we have dealt with this Bill. For me, on a personal level, this is probably the most important piece of...
- Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2023)
Alan Kelly: We will be supporting the amendment as well. I respect everything the Minister said and the manner in which he has dealt with this issue. This Bill has been broadened out. The reason we need a vote on the amendment to bring to people's attention the fact that this matter has to be dealt with. Deputy Shortall quoted the Scally report. The fact that we have not had progress is ridiculous....

- Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2023)
Alan Kelly: I thank the Minister. I also thank the Acting Chair, Deputy Funchion, for indulging all of us in this debate. It was necessary for the Minister to provide that outline. Perhaps we can pull back and put a structure on this amendment. I will not be pushing the Labour Party amendment but I seek clarification one or two minor matters. Based on the new amendment the Minister has brought...
- Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2023)
