Alan Kelly: I hope that is the space the Government is going into.

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

Alan Kelly: I welcome the fact that the Tánaiste said he is not stuck on one policy or one strategy and that he is open to looking at what I and others are proposing now. I predict he will end up coming closer to us. I do not say that everything I say is 100% the way to go, but we are willing to work with the Government to ensure the best strategy. The public have had enough. We cannot go...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Alan Kelly: I mean provided publicly.

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Alan Kelly: Surely the Minister has that information instantaneously. What sort of an organisation would not know who it has vaccinated? That information must be provided, otherwise we have bigger problems here. It does not make any sense that we do not know how many Covid-19-facing front-line workers have been vaccinated in University Hospital Limerick, UHL, or the Coombe or any other hospital in...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Alan Kelly: I will just be asking questions as I will not have enough time for a statement, which the Acting Chairman will be glad to know. I will try to do a quick-fire round of questions for the Minister, if that is okay. I am not trying to catch him out as these are just straight questions to elicit information. I thought that I had six and half minutes. How many do I have?

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Alan Kelly: Okay. Can the Minister tell me how many vaccines came into the country this week? I do not want to know how many people were vaccinated as we have all of those figures.

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Alan Kelly: How many vaccines arrived this week?

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Alan Kelly: The Minister has committed to two sets of numbers that have not arrived. First, two and a half to three weeks ago, the Minister committed in the daily updates to provide the volume of people who have been vaccinated. Why has this not happened, as we were told that it would happen within a week? On the second set of numbers, the Minister also committed to my colleague, Deputy Duncan...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Alan Kelly: On the point of order, I have never seen nor heard tell of a Minister, who is a member of the Executive, sharing time with a backbencher on such an important issue. It does not bode well. Will the Leas-Cheann Comhairle rule on this matter, because it may set a dangerous precedent?

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Alan Kelly: I understand what the Leas-Cheann Comhairle is saying but will she, through her office, check whether there is precedent in this regard and whether it is procedurally correct?

Alan Kelly: Will she also make a ruling in case it ever happens again?
