Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: Yes. We are looking at a figure of €4.6 million, but I cannot see traffic volumes changing dramatically. Personally, I do not think there is a hope in hell of this getting through in 2018. Is this one of the ten projects being reviewed?

Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: I look forward to dissecting the review. Ironically, I was Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport when the Taoiseach was the Minister and I recall him being very critical of the payments made under schemes such as this. It is unacceptable that there have been no reviews of projects. The Secretary General knows that representatives of Cork Institute of...

Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: My issue which we flagged is there are lots of questions. This crosses over into our questioning of Cork Institute of Technology on educational issues. There are lots of questions about management, finances and a whole load of others things in the college and we will not stop digging until we get to the bottom of the matter.

Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 4 - Overview of Public Private Partnerships (22 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: This is my last comment. The PPP, the creation of the Maritime College, the way it was run, the multiplicity of companies underneath it, the crossover between people who were employed directly and subsequently employed by the companies, the fact that there is a serious structural deficit in the building all mean that it cannot result in an exposure for the taxpayer. If there is, there will...

Services for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (27 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: To give another view from County Tipperary. On behalf of the Labour Party, I want to speak in favour of the motion. I thank my colleagues for tabling it. I have had many conversations with the Minister of State about disability issues. Some of his family are very good neighbours of mine and I know that he is focused on his job and how passionate he is about it. As I only have a few...

HPV Vaccine: Motion [Private Members] (28 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: I move:“That Dáil Éireann:recognises that:- the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine protects young girls from developing cervical cancer when they grow up; - vaccinating pre-teen boys also protects them against HPV-related cancers later in life; - the Health Service Executive (HSE) estimates that 300 Irish women get cervical cancer every year, with up to 90 deaths; and -...

HPV Vaccine: Motion [Private Members] (28 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: I will now turn to the vaccine itself. The manner in which the vaccine itself has been attacked by a number of different organisations and groups is very regrettable. It is irresponsible and the targeting of certain schools is not justifiable or fair because, in response, we have seen a difference in the take-up of the vaccine in disadvantaged schools. The HPV vaccine is completely safe and...
