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

Alan Kelly: The people of Ireland want the Government to make the right decision. The Taoiseach spoke about this being an equation whereby it could take some period of time for the hospital to be built if we CPO it. To be honest, given the statement issued, unless the group has a complete change of heart, engages with the Minister and decides to gift the land, I do not believe the Government will have...

National Maternity Hospital: Motion [Private Members] (23 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I thank my colleagues in the Social Democrats for bringing this forward. The Minister has been handed a hospital pass, pardon the pun. It has been handed down to him by bad advice from officials and his predecessors. He will have to, in some way, manage to take that pass and turn it around for the people of Ireland because he has no other option. The letter from the St. Vincent's...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Risk Assessment (22 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: Covid will continue to be the biggest risk as we move forward but hospital overcrowding will also be a significant risk. We barely had a flu season in 2020 due to everything. Ensuring as many people as possible are vaccinated this winter will be critical. I want to ask the Taoiseach about supply issues regarding the roll-out. What are we ordering for next year? I know decisions were to...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Security Committee (22 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: The last Government had a Cabinet subcommittee on national security. Why was it dropped? Is it not even more pertinent now we have such a Cabinet subcommittee? We have the National Security Committee. I do not want the details, but I presume Ministers attend that. Can the Taoiseach tell us how often it meets and at what level? Where are we at as regards the cyberattack on the HSE? Have...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (22 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: The figures from EUROSTAT yesterday show that Ireland ranks 13th out of 27 EU countries on household living standards, falling behind Germany, Italy and Lithuania. That is where we really stand when the impact of multinationals on our GDP is stripped out. When it comes to living standards and what people can actually afford to buy to live their lives, Irish people are in fact less well-off...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: I would like to tease this out a little bit further because I did not get much from the Taoiseach's answer to Deputy McDonald. To be honest, the Taoiseach did not answer the question. The Taoiseach keeps saying that this is going to be owned by the State. If that is the case, why is the Minister going to talk to the Sisters of Charity? A deadline will have to be set at some stage. Does...
