Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (28 Apr 2021)

Alan Kelly: The Business Post reported at the weekend that the State is in final talks with the EU over the €915 million in recovery funding. There is a €750 billion fund in place under the EU's pandemic recovery plan, as we know. We will get €853 million in grants in 2021 and 2022 but our allocation for 2023 has been substantially reduced from €420 million to €68...

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

Alan Kelly: Last week, I asked the Taoiseach about the vaccine roll-out. I am going to ask him about it again this week and will probably do so every week. Unfortunately, when I raised this matter last week, dare I say it, the Taoiseach made quite a cynical charge, which was that, in essence, asking questions about the roll-out is somehow not putting on the green jersey. The Taoiseach knows I put on...

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

Alan Kelly: I sincerely wish them the best. The HSE has done a good job. It has faced very difficult challenges with the criteria changing all the time. I acknowledge that. Of my three questions, the Taoiseach answered the one I asked about achieving 450,000 vaccinations a week. He said that figure is achievable and is being projected. He answered that question directly, which I respect. Unless...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Apr 2021)

Alan Kelly: The stability programme update was published last week. It contained scary figures on employment for this year and next year. Unemployment is projected at over 16% this year, falling to over 8% in 2022. Young people have been especially hard-hit by this pandemic. They have been hard-hit in their education and work prospects as well as rents and the prices of homes and into the near future...

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

Alan Kelly: I want to ask the Taoiseach about community employment scheme supervisors, who do such fantastic work, and their pensions. In 2015 I and the then Minister, Deputy Brendan Howlin, left a piece of work that had to be concluded in order to provide payments and pensions to supervisors and assistants. That work was not progressed by the last Government. I note there was some support for our...

The Taoiseach said there was no...
