Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: I am returning to the issue of quarantine. Mandatory quarantine is necessary. Quarantine at home is a waste of time. The new variants are potentially lethal. That is the analysis coming through. The Health Act 1947 actually gives the Minister quite an amount of power, if we read it. In May of last year, the Minister for Health, the Minister for Justice, the Attorney General and all...

Covid-19 (Mental Health): Statements (4 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: I will raise several matters in the short space of time but I have one specific question for which I will leave time for a reply. Covid-19 has exposed many gaps in our mental health services. We always knew there were significant gaps but they have been exposed even more. I have spoken to many people but never seen such levels of worry and depression across so many different cohorts in our...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: The Leas-Cheann Comhairle need not worry. I will give the Tánaiste another go on the issue. The Tánaiste's use of language was a bit unfortunate. This is not a confrontational issue and I think he misspoke when he used the word "trial". They certainly are not trials. My heart dropped, as, I think, did that of everybody in the nation who watched the video of Lynsey outside...

Alan Kelly: The Tánaiste needs to direct the State Claims Agency to deal with these issues quickly and more sensitively, particularly where negligence has been found. It was found in this case, it has been found in a number of other cases and it will be found in a number of future cases. We will judge the Tánaiste's words over the coming weeks and months. I have drafted a civil liability...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: I raise with the Taoiseach this week, as I did with the Tánaiste last week, the issue of the women and families who are suffering as a result of the CervicalCheck scandal. We all know of the case of Lynsey Bennett last week. I am sure everyone in the House wishes her the best in her travels for immunotherapy. I am genuinely asking these questions, as someone who has been involved...
