- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Estimates for Public Services 2017: Vote 38 - Department of Health (27 Sep 2017)
Alan Kelly: I presume the Minister knew that this question would be asked in some shape or form. I agree that the system is broken. What happened in the context of provision and of arriving at this point was a joke; it was farcical and embarrassing. It was embarrassing for the Minister and for us, as politicians. The process by means of which these drugs are accredited was also embarrassing. I refer...

- Other Questions: Medicinal Products Availability (28 Sep 2017)
Alan Kelly: This question has been overtaken by the remarks made by the Minister at a committee meeting yesterday. I would like to mention two issues. The announcement made in July was a stunt, given that, for budgetary reasons, the changes cannot be made until November. When the announcement was made, it should have been made clear that it would take a number of months for the arrangements to be put...
- Other Questions: Medicinal Products Availability (28 Sep 2017)
Alan Kelly: In some cases the process is not that complicated, but in others it can be more complicated. I would appreciate it if the Minister identified the drugs in question. We are overpaying for drugs, as the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform accepts. It is quite obvious that we are overpaying for them and we cannot go through this again. The process used to make drugs available which...

- Public Accounts Committee: Report on Reopening of Garda Stations: Acting Garda Commissioner (28 Sep 2017)
Alan Kelly: I genuinely wish the acting Garda Commissioner the best in his role. He has a big weight on his shoulders. It is an opportunity for a new beginning and I hope he takes it. Today is probably the beginning of that process. He mentioned Assistant Commissioner O'Driscoll. The acting Garda Commissioner mentioned the six criteria or whatever they are called. When were they given to him?
- Public Accounts Committee: Report on Reopening of Garda Stations: Acting Garda Commissioner (28 Sep 2017)
Alan Kelly: I was a member of that Government. Are they the same criteria that we used to close stations? I presume they were.
- Public Accounts Committee: Report on Reopening of Garda Stations: Acting Garda Commissioner (28 Sep 2017)
Alan Kelly: My understanding is that the selection of the stations for closure was based on three things, namely, an activity analysis of the Garda network, an examination of the impact assessments conducted by local Garda management in respect of stations regarding delivery, and a detailed review of the Garda station network in the Dublin metropolitan region. In an answer to a Topical Issue debate on...
