Alan Kelly: I am talking about front-line facing people.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: Prior to the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the media was briefed by the Minister for Health, Deputy Donnelly, that 875,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine would be approved for use and purchase by the Cabinet. Did that happen? We all know now there will be issues in the roll-out of the vaccine for those over 70 years. I am decoding what the Tánaiste said earlier but essentially we will not...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: The Leas-Cheann Comhairle need not worry. I will give the Tánaiste another go on the issue. The Tánaiste's use of language was a bit unfortunate. This is not a confrontational issue and I think he misspoke when he used the word "trial". They certainly are not trials. My heart dropped, as, I think, did that of everybody in the nation who watched the video of Lynsey outside...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: The Tánaiste needs to direct the State Claims Agency to deal with these issues quickly and more sensitively, particularly where negligence has been found. It was found in this case, it has been found in a number of other cases and it will be found in a number of future cases. We will judge the Tánaiste's words over the coming weeks and months. I have drafted a civil liability...

Covid-19 (Mental Health): Statements (4 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: I will raise several matters in the short space of time but I have one specific question for which I will leave time for a reply. Covid-19 has exposed many gaps in our mental health services. We always knew there were significant gaps but they have been exposed even more. I have spoken to many people but never seen such levels of worry and depression across so many different cohorts in our...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Feb 2021)

Alan Kelly: I am returning to the issue of quarantine. Mandatory quarantine is necessary. Quarantine at home is a waste of time. The new variants are potentially lethal. That is the analysis coming through. The Health Act 1947 actually gives the Minister quite an amount of power, if we read it. In May of last year, the Minister for Health, the Minister for Justice, the Attorney General and all...

Alan Kelly: As a country, down through all of our existence we have always shown solidarity with poorer regions of the world. We know there are a number of different variants of Covid-19. During the week, I said that these variants are on tour. The fact that we have introduced certain measures in respect of people coming from Brazil or South Africa does not deal with the fact the variants are all over...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (28 Jan 2021)

Alan Kelly: Before I get on to the main issue I want to ask the Tánaiste a question. The Minister for Health was in the Chamber earlier. I asked him how many vaccines were brought into the country this week. He said 48,000. He is wrong. According to figures given to a number of journalists, in particular Craig Hughes, who has published them in the past few minutes, it was 23,570. How can a...
