HPV Vaccine: Motion [Private Members] (28 Mar 2018)

Alan Kelly: I will now turn to the vaccine itself. The manner in which the vaccine itself has been attacked by a number of different organisations and groups is very regrettable. It is irresponsible and the targeting of certain schools is not justifiable or fair because, in response, we have seen a difference in the take-up of the vaccine in disadvantaged schools. The HPV vaccine is completely safe and...

Alan Kelly: I am paraphrasing Ms Feehily and do not want to misrepresent her views, although they will be in the transcript of yesterday's meeting. My understanding is that while An Garda Síochána must engage in a process with the Policing Authority to appoint a clerical officer, the authority cannot do anything about Garda expenditure of €26 million without a tendering process.
