National Maternity Hospital: Motion [Private Members] (23 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I thank my colleagues in the Social Democrats for bringing this forward. The Minister has been handed a hospital pass, pardon the pun. It has been handed down to him by bad advice from officials and his predecessors. He will have to, in some way, manage to take that pass and turn it around for the people of Ireland because he has no other option. The letter from the St. Vincent's...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: Twenty-four hours is a long time in politics. Yesterday, when I raised this issue with the Taoiseach in respect of solutions, he told me to get real regarding CPOing this land. I am telling him now that the people of Ireland want him to get real. The Government cannot proceed as currently constructed. The statement yesterday by St. Vincent's Healthcare Group was a two-fingers to the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: The people of Ireland want the Government to make the right decision. The Taoiseach spoke about this being an equation whereby it could take some period of time for the hospital to be built if we CPO it. To be honest, given the statement issued, unless the group has a complete change of heart, engages with the Minister and decides to gift the land, I do not believe the Government will have...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I will conclude. If the group does not, in a short period, say, a month or so, meet the Minister and say that it will gift the land to the State, I ask that the Taoiseach pursue a full CPO of the whole site.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (23 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: This morning, out of the blue, we learned that the Minister for Finance plans to flog off the remaining shares we own in Bank of Ireland. If we have learned anything from the crash it is that holding on to these shares puts a condition of good behaviour to some extent on the banks. The Minister has not told us what he is going to do with the shares, so I will ask the Taoiseach directly,...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Economic Policy (23 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: Young people have borne the brunt of the pandemic. They are stuck at home, many with parents, or are renting and paying huge rent. As the Taoiseach will be aware, the Residential Tenancies Bill (No. 2) Bill 2021 comes before the Dáil later today. This is further emergency legislation, but it will not deal with the issues in respect of which renters need a break. We need to close the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: The Taoiseach should be here today instead of at a press conference, given the decisions being made and the impact on our country. The Cabinet decision announced earlier on reopening businesses is absolutely bananas. It is discriminatory and it is unenforceable. It is shocking stuff. It is amateur hour. When did Government discrimination become the norm in Ireland? I would like the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: That is not what the Taoiseach said in his press conference. I live in Portroe, where there is a little village called Garrykennedy. Roy Breen and Maura Boyle run the two hospitality establishments there. If the Minister thinks that what the Government is putting forward is enforceable in any of these types of hospitality premises, it is not. It is just not enforceable. It is...
