Other Questions: Brexit Issues (3 Nov 2016)

Alan Kelly: Furthermore, the Minister said earlier that she hopes to met Mr. Barnier. Has she written to him?

Other Questions: Brexit Issues (3 Nov 2016)

Alan Kelly: I find this extraordinary. I sat where the Minister is sitting now on many occasions during the past five years and for her not have the details of how many times the Cabinet Sub-committee on Brexit has met is incredible. She does not need notes to know whether it met once, twice, three, four, five, six or seven times. I do not foresee it met on any more occasions than that. Similarly,...

Other Questions: Brexit Issues (3 Nov 2016)

Alan Kelly: I might have that time back, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. It is the Minister's responsibility. It is not Enterprise Ireland's responsibility. It is nice to have another five-point plan coming from Fine Gael under the five pillars. I agree with the Minister on not announcing it too early and ensuring it is correct. I merely want to ensure the Minister is not making it up as she goes along...

Other Questions: Brexit Issues (3 Nov 2016)

Alan Kelly: According to the Minister, we will know a lot in two weeks. I look forward to that. The Minister stated that Enterprise Ireland does not make it up as it goes along. I know that.

This is a once in a generation, possibly once in a...

Alan Kelly: I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. I am very much of the opinion we will have to move to salaried GP contracts.
