Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Oct 2020)

Alan Kelly: I think the State should buy private hospitals. I am asking the Taoiseach to provide the analysis I am seeking. I will give him another week to so do.

We need that analysis today. People...

Disability Services: Motion [Private Members] (6 Oct 2020)

However, it says a lot about the Government that she had to fight so hard to...

Ceisteanna – Questions: Departmental Advertising (6 Oct 2020)

Alan Kelly: The Taoiseach ran out of time earlier but he might inform the House why he bottled the announcement of 21 December as a bank holiday. Last night, we were led to believe this might happen.

Ceisteanna – Questions: Departmental Administrative Arrangements (6 Oct 2020)

Alan Kelly: Yes. He can deny it was even in his thoughts or part of his assessments but it was strongly reported. In fact, it was assumed for some reason. A date was even given out.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Oct 2020)

Alan Kelly: As an aside, will the Taoiseach ask the Minister for Health or somebody, perhaps through NPHET, to sort out the issue arising over masks and visors? The misuse of visors across the country and, dare I say, in this House is wrong. It is not helping in our collective fight against Covid.
