Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ: Discussion (29 Jun 2023)

Alan Kelly: What does a complete reconfiguration mean? Does it mean people will be sacked? Will they be taken out of jobs? Does it mean he starts again? What is the flavour? The people who work for RTÉ, and their families, are watching and they want to know this answer.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)

Alan Kelly: I do not understand why we cannot be told about these decisions. The board knows about them, as does the contractor. I presume Mr. Gunning has full confidence in the conciliator. Does he? For the record, Mr. Gunning is nodding. If the contractor knows, the development board knows and the conciliator knows, then why does the taxpayer or the Houses of the Oireachtas not know?

Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: Ms O'Sullivan can break it down whichever way she wants. I will make it simple for her. Does she have full confidence in them in their roles? That is the first question. Second, does she have full confidence that every member of her senior management team has the capacity to do their job? Third, does she have confidence they can all work together collectively to the best of An Garda...

Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: On the last day I asked Mr. Waters two questions and I am going to repeat two of them again. I have three questions left. Does Mr. Waters believe that his Department should have been informed more quickly by the Commissioner about the issues in Templemore? Does Mr. Waters think it was appropriate that there was a time gap from 27 July - a date that is disputed and could have been in...

Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (31 May 2017)

Alan Kelly: ...Public Accounts. It is not a case of Mr. Nugent being able to revert on any issue he wants. If he knows the answer to a question and fails to give it, it is a very serious matter. He can say he does not know the answer in his role or he can give us the answer, but to say that he can revert on a specific question like that is totally unacceptable in my view. He either knows or he does...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 Oct 2018)

Alan Kelly: ..., Food and the Marine, Bord na gCon, the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government and the Valuation Office, which I think comes under the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, does it not? I presume it does. Does it come under the Department of the Taoiseach?

Written Answers — Department of Environment, Community and Local Government: Animal Breeding Regulations (13 Jan 2016)

Alan Kelly: ...of Dog Breeding Establishments and provides a robust regulatory framework for, inter alia, the licensing, monitoring and inspection of dog breeding establishments by local authorities. The Act does not prescribe the purposes for which such premises may or may not be established, managed or operated. Accordingly, it does not provide for nor does it prohibit the breeding of dogs for...

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: We will write to ask for clarification because it does seem strange that a clarification was sent in by Mr. Dunne even though it was not requested, which relates to a very important piece of evidence that he gave. I have asked this question numerous times in the committee and I will ask the Commissioner the same thing. Does she have confidence in everybody who is at senior management...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Workforce Planning in the Health Sector: Discussion (9 Oct 2019)

Alan Kelly: It is an observation, and I believe it would help the association. I strongly suggest it do that, for many reasons that we do not have time to discuss here. I believe it is a weakness that it does not do it. It is a weakness on many levels. I wish to refer to different areas because I agree with many of the comments earlier, so I do not wish to waste my time by dealing with the same...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 Feb 2022)

Alan Kelly: ...agreement between the Irish State and the UK Government that permits the RAF to conduct any form of armed operations in Irish airspace? Will the Taoiseach confirm to the House that this agreement does, or does not, exist? Under Article 15.6 of the Constitution, the Oireachtas is the only authority that can allow any other military force to operate within our State or on behalf of the...

Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Chapter 7 - EU Refunds and Levies in the Agriculture Sector (16 Feb 2017)

Alan Kelly: Does anyone else want to respond? Does Mr. Gleeson want to respond? We have a job to do with the facts before us. We know that there are some historical issues that have to be dealt with and that there are issues that will be pulled out through the media. Does anyone in the delegation have any concern about the actions and behaviour of Bord na gCon senior executives regarding the accounts...

Seanad: Finance Bill 2008: Second Stage (12 Mar 2008)

Alan Kelly: I hope the Tánaiste does, but like the kid in the playground he knows much less than he thinks he does and now we will find out that to the country's cost. I thank the Acting Chairman for his indulgence.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Electoral Commission: Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government (10 Mar 2015)

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (31 May 2017)

Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017)

Alan Kelly: I can only deduce that Mr. O'Callaghan does not find anything wrong with not telling the internal auditor. Does Mr. Waters understand what section 40 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 states?
