Alan Kelly: That has been proven to be wrong.
- Leaders' Questions (14 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: The Minister has refused to answer my questions. I asked very specific questions but he has not answered them. I will say it straight that if the Government does not deal with this matter soon, the lifetime of this Dáil will be shortened considerably. This is a scandal and the Government is not on top of it in any way, shape or form. Members of this House have more knowledge of some...

- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: Less than an hour. We have been round the houses again. We all know and are fairly familiar with this at this stage. I will not go into the nitty-gritty of who said what or when. I find it strange that the State Claims Agency, SCA, and the HSE met following the SCA's letter. I am not sure of the appropriateness of it. From another angle, and Mr. Connaghan might listen, part of the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: Does he accept that he totally and utterly confused this committee with his evidence? According to the story we are being told, two meetings were mixed up. I appreciate Mr. Connor's directness on that. To be fair to my colleague, Deputy Jonathan O'Brien, he is the one who pursued this matter. What worries me is that we are left with this ram-jam of a story and we will have to make a...
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: To be honest, Mr. Connaghan's response did not add anything. I will do a quick fire round of questions because we all have limited time. I have a habit of drifting through committee meetings and I attended a meeting of the finance committee when representatives of the State Claims Agency appeared before it. I accept the agency's hands are tied in many cases by the legislative basis on...

- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: I do not wish to be rude but I am caught for time. When Mr. Breen says the State Claims Agency is in line with Government commitments, that is fine and dandy, but we all know there has to be change. We had an extensive discussion on this issue. I read through the transcripts of the meeting last night.
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: I will make a suggestion which will save us all time. Will Mr. Breen write to the committee to explain how this has all changed? That would be useful and would save us time.
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Alan Kelly: I have some more quick questions. I first have a question for Mr. Gleeson. I do not live far from his offices, although it is in a different county which beat Tipperary in hurling this year. I also know some of the people who work with him and I have met and spoken to people who work with him and people who work in CervicalCheck. There are some very good, impressive people working in that...
