Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: What about the MAUs?

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I agree. There will be public doctors and public nurses eventually. I know a private company has been brought in at the moment. The ambition is, in the near future, to be staffed fully by the HSE.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I ask that because, as Mr. Gloster will know, it is contract staff rather than full-time staff. An issue jumped out at me from the report. How can one consultant be paid 24 hours pay for one hour's work? I know from looking at Mr. Gloster that he is as shocked as I am about this. A consultant was paid 24 hours pay and is paid nearly €1 million a year. The example being given is...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)

Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Education and Training Provision (24 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: 198. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the total unit cost for the provision of education in alternative education settings within the State, excluding Youthreach provision; how this compares to the total unit cost for the provision of education in traditional mainstream education settings; the level of additional onsite supports, such as counselling for students, within...

Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: The Minister has misspoken a couple of times because he referenced it a couple of times. I have researched it. What date will it open? The second thing is that the community nursing home in Nenagh will be handed back to what it should be used for on the same day. The second thing is that medical assessment units, MAUs, are committed to going to 24 hours. When will that happen? The MAU...

Public Health Service Staffing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I had to grin earlier because, whenever the Minister is in the Chamber, I seem to have to go out to take a phone call about my father's healthcare. The work of the staff in both Limerick and Nenagh, whom I have been dealing with in the past few months again, has been exceptional. I acknowledge Dr. Scott, Dr. Sohail, Dr. Vijay, healthcare assistant Ray, nurse manager Louise, healthcare...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (23 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I thank the Minister for reading the script. It does not really address my concerns. I appreciate he is not the direct Minister but 15,000 gardaí - when are we going to get realistic? There was a report on Dublin city centre recently where they want 1,000 more gardaí. It is laughable. There are gardaí looking to retire all the time. I know of gardaí who are now...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (23 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I appreciate that.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: An Garda Síochána (23 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: There was a recent meeting of councillors from the Nenagh municipal district with the new Garda superintendent. The cross-party group of councillors came out of the meeting pretty shocked because he more or less admitted that he did not have the resources in the Tipperary-Clare division to meet the requirements of the area. He was pretty matter-of-fact about it. He has to be admired for...

Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2024: Motion (22 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: Update it.

Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2024: Motion (22 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I did not say that.

Proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2024: Motion (22 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: I move amendment No. 1: To delete all words after "Dáil Éireann" and substitute the following: "notes that: - while it is acknowledged that the horse and greyhound racing sectors do not qualify for sports capital funding, they are unique in Irish sport in that they are supported by the State through their own ring-fenced statutory fund; - that payments into the Fund have...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: As the election is approaching us, the perennial and biggest issue in the mid-west will be the health services, as the Taoiseach can appreciate. The issues in UHL cross over into counties Tipperary, Limerick and Clare and further afield. I have direct experience of these. I have spoken on no other issue more than this. My direct experience currently is that my dad has been in the UHL...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2024)

Alan Kelly: When will that open? It depends on the first date. Finally, the Minister and the Government committed to opening the medical assessment units, MAUs, for 24 hours. That is not happening.
