Ceisteanna - Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (16 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I will raise three issues. First, in relation to the Delta variant, I welcome what Mr. Paul Reid communicated in the HSE update yesterday. With regard to the AstraZeneca vaccine, an issue I have been raising for weeks, ongoing communication is needed and the commitment needs to be honoured by 19 July. Have studies been commissioned or has the Government received a briefing on the efficacy...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (16 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I want to raise the issue of community employment, CE, schemes. In my county, Tipperary, I have had a range of people contact me on this issue. Last week, David Mulvaney in Ballynacargy, County Westmeath, eloquently outlined the situation there to me whereby if these schemes are not extended, many people whom the ESB is pushing towards getting major awards under the CE programme will simply...

Acquisition of Development Land (Assessment of Compensation) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." I wish to share time with my colleague, Deputy Howlin. More than 50 years ago, in the late 1960s, amid concerns about the high cost of housing for home buyers, a situation which has repeated itself several times since, the then Fianna Fáil Minister for Local Government, former Deputy Bobby Molloy, commissioned a report on ways to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (15 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: A report in thejournal.iewebsite has said that the plan to build 400 multidenominational schools primary schools by 2030 has absolutely no interim targets and that there is no roadmap. Is this true? If not, then perhaps the Taoiseach will tell us it is not. These are so necessary and we in the Labour Party, including Senator Bacik and Deputy Ó Ríordáin, have fought for these...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Strategies (15 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: Three of the Taoiseach's key strategic priorities for his Department are securing our future after Covid-19, restoring the economy and strengthening our place in the world. I want to refer to two very different issues. The first is something that has been raised continually in the House, namely, aviation. We all know the issues relating to Stobart Air and the loss of 480 jobs, the regional...

Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (15 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: It is a month since the Taoiseach met Boris Johnson and vowed to work with him on Northern Ireland's future in the aftermath of the Ballymurphy inquiry report. He described it at the time as a constructive discussion. However, things have deteriorated incredibly since then and there is deep concern across a whole range of issues. Last Sunday, Mr. Johnson said he would do whatever it takes...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (15 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: The Taoiseach has repeatedly said that his number one priority is housing. Over the last eight years, house prices have risen by 68%. As the Taoiseach is aware, my party is putting forward a Bill tomorrow to implement the Kenny report, which the National Economic and Social Council, NESC, has already said is necessary and it supports it. The land is a large component of the cost of...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I have been raising this matter repeatedly for a couple of months and, in fairness, the Taoiseach's tone just now was appalling if he was using the matter in a political way. I did not raise the question of a second mRNA vaccine but I had asked if that option had been considered by NIAC. I did not raise it today, although I will always make suggestions that might be considered. I raise...
