Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: Very well, perhaps the next witness can answer.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: We have two people here who have no standing whatsoever to answer questions.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: Answer the question then.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: Excuse me. Mr. Beausang is here to represent the Department. He is here to answer questions. With all due respect, he should not be here if he is not capable of answering the questions or does not have the capacity to do so. His Secretary General or somebody else should be here. With all due respect, it is actually disingenuous to the Committee of Public Accounts for the Department to...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: Effectively, we may note that the Department is incapable of answering the question.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: No, I do not want a written answer. The point of public hearings is that the witnesses are asked questions in order to provide answers in public, in camera, for the people outside watching. It is an indictment of the Department of Education and Skills that it did not have the capacity to send anybody here to answer questions, with full knowledge of the fact that these issues have been aired...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: Fine. I think I have outlined the point. I have another question for CIT. A company called KONE provides services and courses in CIT. Are any former CIT employees directors of this company, or anyone who is formerly on the management team a director of this company? Can the witnesses come back to us in writing on that? Are any former employees or members of the management team directors...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: This my last point. Obviously, when the draft policy was in place, which Deputy MacSharry examined in detail, it was never used for any cases. That is because there were no disclosures before 2018, so there were no disclosures during the period of the draft policy. Is that right?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: There were no disclosures when there was a draft policy, there was no agreement on a disclosure when there was a draft policy, and there were no disclosures when there was a policy in place. We have agreed that. Is that correct?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology (24 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: Apologies. I am referring to pre-2018 all the time. For clarity, there were no disclosures when there was a draft policy in place or a full policy in place, pre-2018 and so on. I respectfully ask the Department, through the Higher Education Authority, HEA, or whatever process, to investigate this matter. I had not intended to ask this question at all, but based on the evidence heard...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Cancer Screening Programmes (29 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: 40. To ask the Minister for Health if he has full confidence in HSE management and its practices and, in particular, those in charge of the national screening programme both past and present. [23798/18]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Cancer Screening Programmes (29 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: There are many people watching these proceedings for the Minister's answer on this question. It relates to the National Cancer Screening Service and the management of it, particularly of CervicalCheck. Has the Minister confidence in the way the HSE has handled this? Has he confidence in the current management? Has he confidence in the management who were over CervicalCheck during the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Cancer Screening Programmes (29 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: We are five weeks into this process and while I accept the details of what the Minister has said about the report which is due next week, I want a guarantee that Dr. Scally will make quick decisions on how it happened. We are dealing with people who are in line management positions in the service. I do not have confidence in them. The people who are watching do not have confidence in them...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Cancer Screening Programmes (29 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: I appreciate the Minister's last comment. I am sure the House agrees that all of the women deserve all of their documentation after five weeks. They also deserve all of the audit review findings. There is one solicitor who is representing many of the women. A total of 90% of the women he represents have not yet received their documentation. After five weeks they deserve it. I will lose...

Questions on Promised Legislation (30 May 2018)

Alan Kelly: We hear a great deal of chatter in this House about rural jobs. When will the Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016 go to Report Stage? Many of the Taoiseach's Deputies, some of whom are sitting behind him, are big supporters of this Bill which I originally drafted. It went to Committee Stage from the Department of Justice and Equality in February. That industry needs...
