Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Legislative Framework Underpinning the State's Response (9 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: I have one question for Dr. Kenny. He mentioned the legal lockdown requirements which were introduced in March. Dr. Kenny referred to people being required to stay in their homes. He said that these were not, and never had been, legal requirements. Is Dr. Kenny saying that most or all of the stringent lockdown measures, including cocooning, were not legal requirements at all?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Children's Hospital (15 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: Tá sé soiléir on gceist gur cuireadh isteach é tamall maith ó shin. It is clear from the question that it was submitted some time ago but hopefully the answer will be no less relevant. What is the reason for the delay in the construction of the new children's hospital? What is the new estimated date for completion? Will the total cost of the hospital exceed the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Children's Hospital (15 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: I thank the Minister of State for the comprehensive history of what has gone on but, unfortunately, neither of the two main questions was answered in the long response she gave. The budget is approaching and a proper one is needed, including for University Hospital Kerry. The hospital is at serious risk of being downgraded because it is underfunded, and the cost of the children's hospital...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Children's Hospital (15 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: On the legal costs, the Minister of State referred to the costs of the board. Are they the total legal costs, including those of anyone who is claiming against it? It is possible to fix the problems at Kerry General Hospital. In February, there were three ICU beds at University Hospital Kerry, whereas one month later, there were 17, thanks to the great efforts of the ICU staff and the...

Workers' Rights: Motion [Private Members] (16 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: Over recent months I have got to know many of the women who, for the past 160 days, have maintained a vigil at the Debenhams store in Tralee. While I accept that the Tánaiste is not in the Chamber today, the workers are upset with him. They disagree with his comments that this is not a technical redundancy.

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland (18 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: I will begin with questions for Philip Browne. I spoke to members of Tralee rugby club last night. It is probably the oldest club in Kerry, there since 1882. They were very complimentary about the FAI system of return to play which they say is the most professional of all the organisations. I think it was in May that Mr. Browne said that if he did not have a clear line of sight by...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland (18 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: Does Mr. Browne think that there should be a harmonised approach across the island, with the IRFU being an all-Ireland body? Would that help?

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland (18 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: My next question is for Mr. Horan. I was at a meeting last Friday with officials from Cork-Kerry HSE and the understanding there is that no case has been picked up attending or playing any outdoor game. Given that 600,000 people have returned to playing football and hurling, could something be brought into play like what they have in the Six Counties? There, it is self-regulated. The GAA...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland (18 Sep 2020)

Pa Daly: Has Mr. Horan heard of any case where there was a Covid outbreak arising from someone attending a GAA game inside in the ground?
