Other Questions: Freedom of Information (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: I clearly asked the question for a reason. The hospital is running afoul of the Act. It is not meeting the requirements of the 2014 Act, which allowed six months for implementation, and it is now 2018. What is it hiding? There is no disclosures log on the website and there is a link to nothing. I know a number of freedom of information requests and other requests for information have...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: I compliment the Chairman on a very good piece of work because we were getting a bigger picture seeing the overall pie. To try to fill out the pie even more, where does this leave us as regards Haddington Road agreement back payments? Are they included or not included in this figure? Do they have to be included on top of this across the board? Where are we in that regard?

Alan Kelly: -----is the calculation included?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: Surely the changes they would have come across would have had a domino effect in regard to the level of pay involved?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: -----premise of a salary figure that has changed.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: Yes. We have thrashed it out and that is why I want to reach to some conclusion. The witnesses who appeared before us last week were very clear on the job they have to do, how long they have to do it and what organisations it covers. I do not think that is an issue at all. The figures we are discussing across the board are disproportionate in light of the Haddington Road agreement, which...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: That is probably the best thing to do.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: Can we get some clarity on that? This issue was raised here previously and in the Dáil. I raised it by means of parliamentary questions a long time ago. It was raised at this committee; it was raised by Deputy MacSharry more than by me. We need to get clarity on this. Given what we now know, somewhere here there is an issue with the term and length of these contracts and the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: I will be brief as Deputy Cullinane has more or less listed the issues I have. Our work programme needs to change a little bit. A lot of things are too pushed out. Getting on to the universities and colleges, I have serious concerns about the evidence given here by the HEA and the manner in which that was done. I also have concerns about the way reports and investigations are being done....

Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Feb 2018)

Alan Kelly: I very much welcome the Bill. It has been a long time coming and I might talk later about how we got here. The Labour Party will broadly be supporting the Bill. There are a couple of issues that need to be further explained, particularly to the public and those who work in the industry, and a couple of tweaks that may be possible. I want to acknowledge those who have worked on this...
