- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Alan Kelly: I am not asking him to make any comment. In fairness, the Government made a decision that this specific role should be part of the board and it is no longer part of the board.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues (11 Dec 2019)
Alan Kelly: I will raise two issues with the witnesses on this round of questioning. The first issue is overcrowding in the mid-west, which is catastrophic and the second is matters arising from the RCOG report published last week. A total of 190 extra beds have been promised and 83 were announced recently. How many of those beds are for the mid-west and where are they located? The minor injuries...

I am not interested in dramatics but in solutions. I have written to Mr. Reid about UHL and the mid-west more generally. Deputy Harty is also from the mid-west and knows that what is going on there at the moment is catastrophic. I...
