- Public Accounts Committee: Garda Internal Audit Report on ICT Directorate Payments Process (31 May 2018)
Alan Kelly: As an add-on question, so they can be answered together, we found out that in the past a number of senior ranking gardaí were directors of companies. I presume that has all ceased and appropriate action has been taken to ensure that-----

Alan Kelly: I spoke to Mr. Ó Cualáin briefly outside. I am a strong supporter of the use of closed circuit television, CCTV, on motorways. When I was Minister I gave a grant to a community in Laois and I have to say the gardaí there were excellent and the CCTV system is in place. We also gave grants for CCTV in a number of other places. They did not proceed but in fairness to the...

Alan Kelly: I understand that but can we have some clarity? I am trying to help out here because I am a huge supporter of this. I initiated such projects when I was a Minister and I used some community funding from the then Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. I wanted to see how the experiment would work and it has been successful. People are frustrated that they cannot go...

Alan Kelly: Yes, let us try and help the Garda here. The State is going through a process of GDPR, which is transformative. It is causing a huge range of issues. We might as well deal with it once and for all. Ultimately, I would support all funding that goes into CCTV across the State and especially for motorways. The motorways are brilliant but they are a cause of crime, as we all know, because...

Alan Kelly: I have a final question and perhaps Mr. Nugent could answer. With regard to Templemore Garda College, progress has been made on the issues surrounding the sports facilities. There are some outstanding issues that are not major and I can speak directly with Mr. Nugent about these later rather than taking up the meeting. We must, however, sort out the issues around the golf club in a...

Alan Kelly: The executive summary is that An Garda Síochána will outline where the college is going in the future and what space requirements are needed. Trust me, the college needs it. The volume of cars, for example, is a nightmare. I accept that the college needs to expand. As a constituency Deputy this is positive and I would be very supportive of it. Having said that I do not believe...

Alan Kelly: I thank Ms Ní Mhuircheartaigh for her contribution, and there is no blame attached to anybody but there is an issue around data protection that somebody needs to grasp, to set it right, to set the precedent and to have it locked in and firm, so the initiative can be rolled out seamlessly or as quickly as possible. This is the executive summary. I do not know how this will happen but...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (30 May 2018)
Alan Kelly: We hear a great deal of chatter in this House about rural jobs. When will the Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016 go to Report Stage? Many of the Taoiseach's Deputies, some of whom are sitting behind him, are big supporters of this Bill which I originally drafted. It went to Committee Stage from the Department of Justice and Equality in February. That industry needs...
- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Cancer Screening Programmes (29 May 2018)
Alan Kelly: We are five weeks into this process and while I accept the details of what the Minister has said about the report which is due next week, I want a guarantee that Dr. Scally will make quick decisions on how it happened. We are dealing with people who are in line management positions in the service. I do not have confidence in them. The people who are watching do not have confidence in them...
