Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Dec 2020)

Alan Kelly: Today is a good day for many businesses and people going back to work as we re-enter level 3 of the plan for living with Covid-19. I am glad our party suggested some time ago that we endeavour to have an opening up for the Christmas period. In fairness, the Government has followed that, so today is a good day. However, the critical discussion around kitchen tables at Christmas will be...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Dec 2020)

Alan Kelly: I attended the European conference on vaccinations last year. I am a 100% advocate, in every way shape and form. However, the words "task force" fill me with concern. This is nothing to do with politics. Trust me when I say that we all have to get this right. I accept what the Taoiseach is saying about EU procurement. I accept what he is saying regarding the number of vaccines. We...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (1 Dec 2020)

Alan Kelly: I wish to ask about cancer survival rates. A report issued last week by the National Cancer Control Programme stated that at least 2,000 cases have gone undiagnosed since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is deeply concerning. We also know that the number of referrals from GPs has dropped dramatically. There are issues across the board, but I refer particularly to cancer...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (1 Dec 2020)

Alan Kelly: On Leaders' Questions, I raised with the Taoiseach the issue of what we will do regarding vaccines. I raised it in a non-political way and I hope the Taoiseach appreciates that. I think the people the Taoiseach referenced earlier are very eminent people, all of whom will make a significant contribution. However, I have a serious concern about co-ordination. I have a serious concern about...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Garda Reform (1 Dec 2020)

Alan Kelly: 4. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on the work of the policing reform implementation programme office. [36606/20]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Garda Reform (1 Dec 2020)

Alan Kelly: I hope the Taoiseach believed all that. The Labour Party established the Policing Authority and it will do everything it can to ensure that it, or a version of it, is maintained into the future. My colleague, Deputy Howlin, drove that development. Successive reports of the authority, whose work I commend, showed that An Garda Síochána was not moving at the pace it should. One of...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (1 Dec 2020)

Alan Kelly: I have a few questions on the reopening of the country, which begins today. To show the public that we are not always fighting in here, I acknowledge that the Government took on board a suggestion from me last week regarding health workers who were in contact with me about covering the Christmas period. It was that those without children or with grown-up children would cover the Christmas...

Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2020: Motion (1 Dec 2020)

Alan Kelly: We will be supporting this increase for this fund for both the racing and greyhound industries, although it may be slightly wrong to describe the greyhound industry in that way as it is really more of a hobby. We give this support with many qualifications. I will speak on both horse racing and greyhound racing. The first qualification is that I do not have confidence in the Irish Greyhound...
