Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (23 Sep 2021)

Alan Kelly: As the Tánaiste knows, we have a student accommodation crisis and the SUSI grant has not been increased. I want to raise a very specific issue relating to the crisis. In Dublin, developers of luxury student apartments are now trying to change their planning permission so they can be used as hotels for tourists. This was predicted by my colleague, our spokesperson on housing, Senator...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2021)

Alan Kelly: That is true. Before I commence my question to the Tánaiste, I wish to acknowledge the passing of Mr. Mervyn Taylor, who has been an incredible servant to this State. He brought in many progressive policies. The list is long. We went through it earlier and I cannot list them here, but obviously at the top was his handling of the divorce referendum in 1995. I acknowledge and remember...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2021)

Alan Kelly: I am a little concerned about revisionism from the Government, so I will take the Tánaiste back to the spring of 2020. A virus with no cure was terrifying the world and our country went into lockdown. The Tánaiste announced it. We turned to our front-line workers to keep public services running and essential retail open. A call was put to the diaspora around the world asking...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2021)

Alan Kelly: People need to know if the cost of this will be paid out of this year's revenue. Will the Tánaiste confirm that this is the case and that this House will not engage in revisionism?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2021)

Alan Kelly: I ask that we do not engage in revisionism. I am glad to hear the Tánaiste's commitment not to do so. However, I have been raising this issue for a considerable period of time, in fact, since last April. We are very slow on this. Other countries have moved on this more quickly than us. A proposal is being brought to party leaders now, and it is 19 days away from the budget. This is...

Alan Kelly: On that point, it is time the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath, and the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, who is responsible for energy, look at this issue on a pan-European level. This issue is not just going to be in Ireland; it is going to be everywhere. The Minister might update the House on what the Government has done in that regard. This is coming down the...

Residential Tenancies (Tenants' Rights) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (22 Sep 2021)

Alan Kelly: I thank Deputy Bacik and our housing spokesperson, Senator Rebecca Moynihan, for their work on this Bill. This is a critical issue that came up for Deputy Bacik during the Dublin Bay South by-election, and we committed to bringing forward this Bill on foot of that. We have honoured our commitment in this regard because during the by-election campaign it certainly came across to us how...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Sep 2021)

Alan Kelly: The Tánaiste was Taoiseach when I raised the issue of a €1,000 bonus for front-line workers last year. He will be aware that the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, INMO, has also looked for a bonus or annual leave. We do not need to rehearse why the people who worked on the front line deserve this bonus. The Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, could not be engaged by the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2021)

Alan Kelly: Respectfully, the Tánaiste was being open enough but I did not get much comfort from his answer. In the context of our energy supplies, brownouts and blackouts, what contingency plans are being put in place? I understand this is a real fear, particularly if we have a very harsh winter. We cannot predict anything with climate change. Can the Tánaiste confirm to the House whether...
