- Workers' Rights: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (1 Jun 2016)
Alan Kelly: Just yesterday, I met a number of former Clerys workers. To be honest, their resolve for justice should be an inspiration to each and every Deputy in the House. It is with these workers in mind that I hope we can all agree that such a situation should never be allowed to occur again. It is in the spirit of the supposed new politics that I call on all sides of the House to engage...

- Insurance Costs: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jun 2016)
Alan Kelly: The Labour Party will support the motion which is a good one. I congratulate my colleagues across the floor on putting it forward.

Second, I suggest that the manner in which...
