- Local Government (Restoration of Town Councils) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 Sep 2018)
Alan Kelly: I thank the Ministers of State for coming in today. The Labour Party proposes this Bill because we believe it is necessary. My party colleagues around the country felt that getting rid of town councils was a mistake and that reforming and regenerating how they worked was the right thing to do, but we went a step too far. I am thinking of people like Mr. Sean Counihan in Killarney, who has...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Teachers' Remuneration (26 Sep 2018)
Alan Kelly: The Minister has not answered the question of why so many young principals are resigning from their jobs. It has to be a concern for the Minister. Will the Minister please update the guidance for principals, which has not been updated since 1975? I am sure people will be shocked when the Minister outlines what their full role is. A survey by the Irish Primary Principals Network showed...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Business of Joint Committee
General Scheme of the Patient Safety Bill 2018: Department of Health (26 Sep 2018) Alan Kelly: A number of my questions have already been asked. From a legislative point of view, we will be debating a lot of terminology and definitions. That will come out in the wash. Some work probably needs to be done in this regard. I have a general concern. The legislation will have to be drafted in such a way that makes it flexible enough to be adaptable from a ministerial point of view....

General Scheme of the Patient Safety Bill 2018: Department of Health (26 Sep 2018) Alan Kelly: This goes way beyond the Scally report. We will not be implementing this on the back of the Scally report. It is specific. I have read the Scally report and know the recommendations inside out. Of course, it is a kick up the backside to say we have to go in a certain direction but that is what it is. This is a mammoth task. It has to be done pretty quickly. How are we to resource the...

General Scheme of the Patient Safety Bill 2018: Department of Health (26 Sep 2018) Alan Kelly: Dr. Holohan should flag with his Minister the fact that this has to be done and that it is a priority given what has transpired over recent months. It is a priority for us as a country. I am not confident that the resources will be in place to implement the legislation. This is not a reflection on anyone. I am not confident that from an organisational point of view, the work can be done...
