Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (19 May 2021)

Alan Kelly: It is five days since the ransomware attack was revealed. This is escalating into a pretty serious national security crisis and I am not sure it is on the radar to the level it should be.

One of his patients had been contacted by a medical organisation from outside the State with all his details as regards a...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (18 May 2021)

Alan Kelly: The main issue I wish to raise is the new national maternity hospital. There remain serious concerns regarding ownership and control of the proposed new hospital. Unless this hospital is built on State-owned land, religious ethos will continually hinder the healthcare received by the women who use it. As long as there is continued ambiguity about the control and operation of the hospital...

Alan Kelly: Deputies first learned of this group when it was reported on in The Irish Timeson 19 April. It was set up to avoid some of the serious political and logistical differences that were beginning to emerge. Is it a formal group? Is it constituted formally or is it just an informal group?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 May 2021)

Alan Kelly: I am unique in having asked a number of questions regarding the IT infrastructure of the HSE and the security thereof in 2019 and 2020. At the end of 2020, 37,000 computers had not been upgraded from Windows 7. The year before, the number was even greater. This was only a few months ago. I ask the Taoiseach directly whether this was a component in the malware attack. There has to be a...

In terms of the detail of this, there are issues relating to timing as regards cohorts, so this would be very positive news. I understand the Tánaiste told his...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 May 2021)

Alan Kelly: I wish to raise a sensitive issue. John O'Meara is my neighbour from Toomevara in County Tipperary. He is a self-employed agricultural plant contractor. He has three young children, Aoife, Jack and Tommy, aged from nine to 13 years. His partner, Michelle Batey, was 42 years old. She was from Nenagh and was a bank clerk with AIB.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 May 2021)

He does not qualify for one-parent family payment because it is means tested on the preceding year. He does not qualify for...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Offices (12 May 2021)

Alan Kelly: I do not have enough time to engage on this topic. I remind the Taoiseach that the reason the then Minister, former Deputy Michael Noonan, brought in real estate investment trusts, REITs, in 2011 or 2011 was because the Taoiseach and his colleagues damn well destroyed this country with their housing policies. They were in bed with developers. The Taoiseach should not come in here and start...
