Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)

Alan Kelly: I respect commerciality, but there is always a nervousness about the scale of redaction when it extends to non-commercial legal issues and to sensitive issues that may apply in other areas. I have looked through all of the minutes and I can see a range of information is redacted way beyond what I would have expected. Will Mr. Barry have a fresh look at this, please, and supply them?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)

Alan Kelly: The presentation was received from the design team when it was reported that additional monetary risk had been identified on provisional funds. Is Mr. Barry saying that presentation will not be in any way suppliable?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)

Alan Kelly: There is also the second document relating to the executive summary of cost report from the minutes on 29 April. Regarding cost claims, Mr. Barry said earlier they amounted to €1 million, which is fine, and he said that accounted for approximately 50% of claims to date - he can correct me if I am wrong as I am just working from the notes I wrote down earlier. While I am not an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)

Alan Kelly: I want to know the percentage of those that are settled that relate to Connolly and not to the main site at all. Will Mr. Barry tabulate this and come back to us with the number of claims to date? I understand he cannot give us the total cost of claims. However, he can give us the volume that has been settled and then tell us which site they relate to. Is that okay? None of that is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)

Alan Kelly: On the timelines, Mr. Barry said he expected the project to be pushed out, and that is not a big issue, given where we are at, to be fair to him. He expects that the main contractor can pull it back.

Alan Kelly: It is not "he"; it is a company.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)

Alan Kelly: I agree with Mr. Barry. I have a lot of sympathy for this argument. On the construction side, trying to get people is a nightmare at the moment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (27 Nov 2019)

Alan Kelly: I accept that. In some cases, some of these people might have been misrepresented in the past, but that is just a generic issue and I am not getting into anyone or any company specifically. Have any critical milestones been missed since Mr. Barry took up his position? If so, has he documented them and told his board, or any of the four layers, including the Department and the Minister, in...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2019)

Alan Kelly: Yesterday, we finally got the aggregate report from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, RCOG, on the CervicalCheck programme. We are thinking of the 159 women who had missed opportunities to get interventions. Following the publication of the report, the 221+ group will help and support those women over the coming weeks. We know that cancer screening is not diagnostic...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2019)

Alan Kelly: I ask the Taoiseach to respond to the specific questions I asked on behalf of Lorraine Walsh. He said there was an independent report. I have to question that. If a report or review that is being conducted has to be constantly validated by the HSE, I am not sure it is fully independent. A number of people were upset by the response of the Minister, Deputy Harris, to the report yesterday....

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Dec 2019)

Alan Kelly: The Gaming and Lotteries (Amendment) Bill will be debated again before being signed into law. On further analysis, and looking at the proposed amendments that are coming forward, the Labour Party believes that the Bill is flawed. If involved in any future Government, we would not allow this legislation to go any further; we would reverse what is proposed because we think it is very...

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)

Alan Kelly: I welcome our guests back. Deputy O'Connell and I had a slight feeling of déjà vu. We went around the houses last week but there are many more players today. To be fair to Mr. Gunning and Mr. Barry, they have taken on a poisoned chalice, in a way. Some of the questions at the Joint Committee on Health, especially to Mr. Gunning about his history and where he was before this, were...

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)

Alan Kelly: I have read this report inside-out. I have approximately 20 pages of notes from it as the people who attended the committee last week know. I have gone through it in depth. Not enough people have read it. I do not want a status report. I am asking if there is anybody here with any concerns extra and above what we know publicly.

Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)

Alan Kelly: For the record, everybody at the committee has no concerns outside of what is identified in this report or is public at present. Is that fair enough to say?
