Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (2 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I thank Deputy Connolly and her colleagues for bringing forward this motion, which we will support. I note the Deputy's track record on this because I know we have been raising similar issues for many years. I am disappointed the Minister left just before I began to speak. Perhaps he was afraid I was going to remind him of what he said in opposition regarding all these issues because it...

Has the Department or the Taoiseach been briefed on whether the Rutland Street School community hub project has gone to tender yet? When is work expected to start? If the Taoiseach is engaged, he will be able to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Projects (1 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: When it comes to managing waste, I do not want to let this opportunity go without talking about the scenes of litter and waste in Dublin city, as have been profiled in recent days, particularly online.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I want the Taoiseach to give clarity today on what is happening in regard to the freeze on redundancy rights. Workers need clarity on this.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 May 2021)

These are not gotcha questions; they are just to elicit information so that the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 May 2021)

Alan Kelly: I appreciate that this is just a process of trying to get information out to people. As regards the Tánaiste's response, it is reasonable that the Government will tell us on Friday, as long as it is Friday, what the expected level of first and second doses by the end of June is. That is reasonable and I have no issue with it. I am concerned, however, about one part of the...
