Chapter 7 - Management of Overtime Expenditure in An Garda Síochána (9 May 2019)

Alan Kelly: That is good to hear. Given the area I represent, people would expect me to raise the issue of Templemore. I see the Chairman smiling again. We know the recommendations have been largely implemented. Two have been partially implemented. Nineteen recommendations were made. One is the recommendation to implement all recommendations. We can park that; it is a rather unusual one. Is the...

Alan Kelly: I understand. Two recommendations are partially concluded. Let us call a spade a spade. These relate to land and community issues, including sport facilities. Templemore and the Garda College are synonymous. It is the centre of activity there and it is critical. I am a major supporter of it. I know it is taking time to deal with these issues, but I appreciate they have to be dealt...

Alan Kelly: I say this as a local public representative. There is goodwill from the community. There are issues that need to be resolved. Obviously there are issues with the OPW. I have spoken to the Minister and he is looking at possible solutions which are hopefully close.

Alan Kelly: I understand that. I wish to emphasise that they have to be solutions that will work for the community. Social contracts have been made with the people there regarding facilities. Given the kinds of facilities in the Garda College, there needs to be goodwill towards the community. There needs to be some give and take with where the training college is. Even if it takes a bit more time, I...

Alan Kelly: The elephant in the room is the golf course, which is part of the community there. It was very hard not to keep there. This is my final question. When I was Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government a number of years ago, I carried out a pilot programme to provide funding for CCTV infrastructure in a number of locations. It took a long time for that to be done. I am a...

Alan Kelly: This is the next big crisis in the health service. It has been brewing for a number of years. We know the Minister of State is due to meet the representatives of Rehab today. I presume the Government will find the €2 million required; if not, it will have a serious problem. Three thousand people are affected, 222 of whom are in my county, which is the largest number in any county...

Alan Kelly: Approximately a year ago I raised the issue of a young man in Waterford who needs full-time residential care. His family cannot manage him any more. I am ashamed I cannot do more for that family, and I know there are many other such cases. It has become a crisis in this State as to how we treat these people. I state on the record that this is something that will come knocking very...
