Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 Nov 2021)

Alan Kelly: I will flag two matters. The High Court in Belfast has ruled that the situation with regard to North-South ministerial meetings is unlawful. Does the Taoiseach have any update on that? The second issue I will raise sometimes goes under the radar. Yesterday, it was made official that a public inquiry is to be held in Northern Ireland to investigate mother and baby homes, Magdalen laundries...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Nov 2021)

Alan Kelly: The Taoiseach will announce new measures this evening with regard to fighting Covid-19. It seems, unfortunately, we are going in a certain direction.

Owenabue school in the Taoiseach's constituency has told many of the parents of...

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

Alan Kelly: The position with regard to some of the new Garda divisional headquarters and areas is mental. I do not say that lightly. It is crazy. The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors, AGSI, has brought to my attention issues with new divisions in Cork, Monaghan, Louth, Meath, Westmeath, Laois, Offaly and Kildare. The one relating to my county is insane. The headquarters are in Ennis in...

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

Alan Kelly: This will be a very serious weekend for the world, as eyes turn to COP26 in anticipation of what the outcome will be. Our former President, Mary Robinson, made an emotional appeal to world leaders yesterday for more ambitious action to be taken. She is right; we cannot negotiate with science or facts. This is on our watch. If we do not radically act to reduce our carbon emissions,...

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

Alan Kelly: We should never have got to the point where Huntstown and Whitegate were down at this critical juncture. The Minister knows that, in fairness. He did not answer the question I asked. Are we potentially losing inward investment? I have huge time for the IDA and I think Mr. Martin Shanahan has done a superb job at IDA Ireland. He has warned, in submissions to the CRU, EirGrid and...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (10 Nov 2021)

Alan Kelly: Afforestation will play a key role in climate change mitigation; the Minister has acknowledged this. It has been a huge cost for us to have missed our afforestation targets in Ireland in recent years. Over the past five years, we have missed planting targets by more than 15,000 ha. Had this area been afforested, these forests had the potential to remove 5.4 million tonnes of carbon. This...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (10 Nov 2021)

Alan Kelly: The publication of the draft transport strategy for the greater Dublin area raised a huge amount of concerns. It will be at least 2031 before MetroLink is in place. For growing towns like Swords it confirms what the NDP pointed out, namely, this project has no actual start or completion dates. Is that not fair to say? Will the Taoiseach respond? Suburbs like Lucan and Finglas are also...
