Vaccination Programme and Covid-19: Statements (1 Apr 2021)

Alan Kelly: Last week, I asked the Minister how many vaccines would arrive in the last week in March and the first week of April. The Minister stated: I am more than happy to get the Deputy a note on that. What I can tell him is that by the end of March, which is in the next five days, we expect to have received in excess of 1.1 million doses. I never received any note. What is the point in the...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (1 Apr 2021)

Alan Kelly: At the NPHET briefing yesterday, we learned that modelling showed that if there was a moderate increase in close contacts from 5 April to 30 September, we would have 578,000 cases or 9,500 cases per day. This is a mathematical equation and I understand that NPHET is simply doing its job. However, the Tánaiste is saying that 3.8 million people will have some form of vaccination by the...

Mental Health Surge Capacity: Motion [Private Members] (21 Apr 2021)

Alan Kelly: I thank Sinn Féin for tabling the motion. I wish to raise an issue that is the subject of a report by Shane Phelan in this morning's edition of the Irish Independent. It relates to services in south Kerry and I am sure the Minister of State is well aware of it. It is a very disturbing report regarding a part of the country that is very close to my heart for personal reasons. People...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Apr 2021)

Alan Kelly: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the vaccine roll out. There are four components to what I am asking. The public needs to hear some answers as this is obviously the most important issue facing our nation at the moment. On 23 February, the Taoiseach stated to the nation that by the end of June up to 82% of adults would have at least their first vaccination. Fewer than two months later,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Apr 2021)

Alan Kelly: I am aware that the Taoiseach is somewhat nervous about answering these questions but I asked four questions and he essentially ran down the clock and answered one. For the record and for the public watching, the Taoiseach of Ireland has said that at this moment in time there will be no change to the rate of 82% vaccinations by June and 250,000 by next week. The Taoiseach said there was no...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Apr 2021)

Alan Kelly: I want to ask the Taoiseach about community employment scheme supervisors, who do such fantastic work, and their pensions. In 2015 I and the then Minister, Deputy Brendan Howlin, left a piece of work that had to be concluded in order to provide payments and pensions to supervisors and assistants. That work was not progressed by the last Government. I note there was some support for our...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Apr 2021)

Alan Kelly: The stability programme update was published last week. It contained scary figures on employment for this year and next year. Unemployment is projected at over 16% this year, falling to over 8% in 2022. Young people have been especially hard-hit by this pandemic. They have been hard-hit in their education and work prospects as well as rents and the prices of homes and into the near future...
