Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jun 2022)

Alan Kelly: It is not that detailed a piece of work. I and other Deputies have looked for status updates over years; so it is a rolling thing. An Bord Pleanála has this work - Deputies should trust me when I say that - but it should, in advance of the meeting, update the schedule. Then we can all, in a timely manner, look at all the recommendations to date and see why An Bord Pleanála has not...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (30 Jun 2022)

Consumer Rights Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 Jun 2022)

Alan Kelly: I will speak briefly. The spirit of this contribution refers to where people sign up to broadband contracts, etc., and are not receiving the full broadband speed but are still paying the full premium price. Our request is that we have a way of dealing with this. We suggest that if there is a certain number of transmission dropouts, etc., these consumers are compensated for the lack of...

Consumer Rights Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 Jun 2022)

Alan Kelly: I move amendment No. 14: In page 107, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following: “(1) (a) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, where a trader supplies a service to subscribers, it is an unfair term of the contract under which the service is provided if the trader, in relation to provision of the same or substantially the same service, charges consumers who...

Consumer Rights Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 Jun 2022)

Alan Kelly: I thank the Minister of State for the thoughtful way in which he has dealt with this. I appreciate that this has to be across Departments and that it was not all going to come within his remit, and I appreciate the time constraints. I was going to ask why the Government did not table its own amendment but, in fairness to the Minister of State, he is after proposing that he will table such...

Consumer Rights Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (29 Jun 2022)

Alan Kelly: I take on board what the Minister of State is saying. I remember several years ago when I was an MEP and we brought in the regulations concerning mobile phone coverage and prices. The interesting thing about that development was that some country had to kick it off. Several countries came together and kicked such a measure off. Eventually, it got to the European Parliament and then went...

Autism Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2022)

Alan Kelly: I listened very carefully to the Minister of State. I felt her passion. It was very believable. Unfortunately, the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, basically insulted the House and, I believe, insulted all the people who are here to witness this legislation. It is tokenistic and absolutely wrong of the Government to say it will allow this to pass Second Stage but that it will not do anything...
