- Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: In principle, I have no issue with the amendment but there is a practical issue arising. We are talking about labelling. Depending on the amendments made on Committee Stage, labelling will be prescribed by the Minister. In principle I support the amendments but I have a question from a practical point of view. Will Deputy Donnelly agree to hold this off until Report Stage? My suggestion...
- Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: I think there is a spirit of doing this right and it is the right thing to do. We are all representatives of the Irish people and, therefore, the Irish language is important. However, there is a practical issue. I had discussions with the Minister separately. I understood that he was to deal with the matter by Report Stage. There may be crossed wires here. I believe there is a practical...
- Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: Thousands of jobs are involved in the industry as well and the practical requirements of a health warning need to be considered. The font cannot be too small. If we could bear in mind the suggestion of Deputy Donnelly, it might be useful. It is up to the Minister of State.
- Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2018)

- Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: No, but I am speaking on the group. I welcome the amendment being put forward by the Minister of State on labelling. It is a practical amendment, like the amendment put forward by Deputy Sherlock on the size of the label, and I support it. The other amendments are not being pushed on the basis that the provisions in the Bill already deal with the issues relating to multiple health warnings...
- Select Committee on Health: Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Committee Stage (20 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: We will support Deputy Donnelly with this amendment. It is practical and something we were drafting ourselves to be tabled on Report Stage. We are happy with the amendment being put forward. This is a health committee and we must take cognisance of requirements and our duty relating to health issues arising from alcohol use. I share the sentiments of my colleagues in that respect but we...

- Implementing the National Drugs Strategy: Statements (28 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: I welcome the Minister of State's comments. We should not be debating the new drugs strategy a year after it was launched. It is kind of crazy. There is so much talk about the need to address this issue and we are debating the strategy a year late. We talk a lot about new politics but this is as an example of where it is not working. The new national drugs strategy is rightly called...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: There is another thing in relation to the HEA. I have just looked at the transcript of our meeting with the HEA and I have a concern about the way in which it is managing protected disclosures and how the various institutions under its remit are handling such disclosures. I flag to the committee that this is something we may wish to come back to. I am due to have a conversation with Dr....
