Alan Kelly: In fairness, it was not me who mentioned that, but it does not matter. It was Deputy Burke, I think - or was it Deputy Aylward? I think Mr. Walsh wants to say something there.

- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
Alan Kelly: We always have to think locally. Mr. Creed gave very passionate evidence. I will not reopen old wounds; we will agree to disagree. The €31 million might not be absolute. I accept it could be another figure. The analysis does not correlate to the horse racing industry, which did not go through the same ups and downs as the greyhound industry. I will not reopen old wounds. We...
- Public Accounts Committee: Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed) (18 May 2017)
Alan Kelly: The secretariat will do all that. I thank the witnesses for their time. They have been here for two days. I thank them for their time and engagement on this issue. On behalf of the Committee of Public Accounts, I thank the witnesses from Bord na gCon and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for the material they supplied to the committee. Unless there is any other business,...
- Topical Issue Debate: Bord na Móna (16 May 2017)
Alan Kelly: I thank the Minister of State for his efforts in reading that out. As I said earlier, a political charge was made. In June 2015, the CEO of the company came and spoke very well to the workers. I regret, however, that a senior member of Bord na Móna did not come down to meet the workers to tell them they were losing their jobs. It is unacceptable that a senior representative of the...
- Topical Issue Debate: Bord na Móna (16 May 2017)
Alan Kelly: I find it incredible that a Minister of State at the Department of Health who is from inner city Dublin, although, in fairness, originally from Galway, as I found to my cost in a recent national league final, is dealing with this question.
- Topical Issue Debate: Bord na Móna (16 May 2017)
Alan Kelly: Surely one of the Ministers was available from the appropriate Department. I ask for the indulgence and support of the Government for the workers in the Littleton Bord na Móna factory. A political charge was made against me on the floor of the House today by the leader of Fianna Fáil which was, frankly, childish. I know that he wants to run away from discussing the Garda...

Alan Kelly: It is not small at all. It is very serious.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 May 2017)
Alan Kelly: Well done.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 May 2017)
Alan Kelly: There are a few issues we must discuss before proceeding. The matters raised last week are serious not just for the Committee of Public Accounts but for the State. I have the transcript of last week's meeting and I have read it a couple of times. It is incredible to do so in conjunction with the documents that Mr. Barrett has now sent us. It is like a jigsaw but the problem is the pieces...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (11 May 2017)
Alan Kelly: I will not repeat what has been said. I agree with everything the previous speaker said. This is no witch-hunt. We have to do a job here. This is a constitutional committee. We need to get to the bottom of what is going on here. I know we cannot go back forever. We have to concentrate on the current Accounting Officer, who happens to be the Garda Commissioner in this instance. Even...
