Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Alan Kelly: On 11 May 2018, the Taoiseach appeared on "RTÉ News: Six One" and stated that the women would not have to pursue the laboratories. I watched it live, and I saw what he said. I found what he said to be unbelievable. That this would be honoured had to drift through this letter, to the State Claims Agency. I believe that anybody reading this letter, and hearing what Mr. Breen has said,...

Alan Kelly: Is Mr. Breen saying that it has never been in any defence that the agency would argue against statute?

Alan Kelly: This is a very interesting point. How many cases are there? Why are there so many cases at the moment? There is an 11-day court case currently ongoing. The main defendant is the laboratory, MedLab.

Alan Kelly: It is pursuing everything. The State Claims Agency is kind of sideways involved. Is that right?

Chapter 20: Management of the Clinical Indemnity Scheme of the Report on the Accounts of Public Services 2021 (2 Mar 2023)

Alan Kelly: Mr. Breen can continue to say "Yes". That is fine and it might categorise the agency differently but it does not help the women. It does not deal with how the State said it would honourably deal with them. MedLab, or whatever laboratory it is as it is not just one, is going to pursue this so rigorously that the controls and the human aspect of the State will be withdrawn because the State...

Alan Kelly: The State should be more involved, given everything that has happened. Mediation is coming just before the cases. Mr. Breen's tabular report that will come to us will demonstrate that. We may have a disagreement on the following, which is fair enough, but Mr. Breen must take it back. I am just a public representative, but anybody looking at the spirit of this letter would say it is...

Alan Kelly: However, the Taoiseach of Ireland went on national television and said something quite the opposite of that.

Alan Kelly: 65. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the plans she has to develop the tourism product and experience throughout the Lough Derg areas of counties Tipperary, Clare and Galway, particularly given the huge improvement in access to the area that is being provided through the construction of the Shannon Crossing between Ballina and Killaloe.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Tourist Accommodation (21 Feb 2023)

Alan Kelly: Something I am very passionate about is tourism. I used to work in Bord Fáilte, which is now Fáilte Ireland. I refer to the whole visitor experience and promotion of the area around Lough Derg, namely, north Tipperary, east Clare and south Galway. During Covid, the real issue for me was that people's experience and what they saw of the area was significant. It is a hidden...

Alan Kelly: I am well aware of that work, some of which I am involved in. There have been four plans since 2014. The first one was the new marketing plan, Discover Lough Derg: life by the lake. There was a €10 million proposal for this, which was not spent in its entirety. We had the Hidden Heartlands plan that my former colleagues developed, which came a couple of years later and fit into...
