Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (10 Mar 2021)

Alan Kelly: I thank the Taoiseach for that. It is somewhat shocking that he had a call with the UK Prime Minister on 2 March regarding the World Cup bid, which we support, and that the Prime Minister did not raise with him in any way, shape or form the proposed plan to breach the terms of the protocol. Did the Taoiseach have any indication? How did it make him feel that the Prime Minister subsequently...

Ceisteanna - Questions: European Council Meetings (10 Mar 2021)

Alan Kelly: We are short of time but it is fair to say the European Commission has not covered itself in glory with the vaccine roll-out. I note from his earlier reply that President von der Leyen texted the Taoiseach on the new amount of vaccines coming to Ireland, which is pretty small considering the losses we have had in recent weeks and the shortfall in the vaccines that were meant to be delivered...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (11 Mar 2021)

Alan Kelly: Hopefully, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be approved today. Is the Minister aware of any of the other EU countries doing deals with the four companies that are producing vaccines? Are any EU countries doing deals? I am not talking about Germany and Denmark, which have bought surplus vaccines that were not being used by other countries. Is the Minister or anyone else in...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (11 Mar 2021)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2021)

Alan Kelly: I want to ask about vaccines and I preface my comments by saying I am very much pro-EU. I am a former MEP and I know that Ireland is part of the EU bloc. It was very important for us in regard to purchasing power for vaccines. However, yesterday I appeared on RTÉ's "Drivetime" programme with Cormac Ó hEadhra, along with the EU health spokesperson, Stefan De Keersmaecker. To say...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2021)

Alan Kelly: I thank the Tánaiste for his frankness but I want to know what we are going to do here. Everyone knows that AstraZeneca is letting down the EU. I was shocked by the response I got yesterday. It is simply not good enough. What are we going to do? We are a small country but we have big capacity. This needs to be dealt with at a European level. It cannot be a situation where this...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (11 Mar 2021)

Alan Kelly: I regret to say that the Tánaiste's follow-up answer to my question during Leader's Questions was not satisfactory. It has prompted me to ask the following questions.

Could the Tánaiste...
