Weather-Related Supports for Farmers: Statements (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)

Alan Kelly: I very much welcome this debate. We should have had it, though, some time ago. I will not lay all the blame for that at the Minister's doorstep considering how early Easter was, St. Patrick's Day and the appointment of a new Taoiseach, etc. There was a lot of time taken up in not being in here and with other business. As the Minister is probably well aware, I live in the midst of a...

Alan Kelly: I was delighted to hear in the Taoiseach's maiden speech that he would "ensure a step change in how we care for our elderly". As the Taoiseach is aware, this is completely at odds with the decision of the HSE to annex the new 50-bed nursing home unit in Nenagh which was built because the St. Conlon's community nursing unit was effectively condemned by HIQA and has to be closed. I am aware...

Alan Kelly: I thank the Chair. I have an awful lot of questions so I will also come in for a second time. I very much welcome all the officials. They will know I have asked questions about Baggot Street hospital. I worked across the road from it for years at Bord Fáilte. Why that building is not being used is beyond my comprehension.

I do not want Mr. McCarthy to provide information on that, but he is obviously well aware of it and it is of deep concern. Will he provide documentation relating to correspondence between the Department and...

Alan Kelly: I noticed there have been changes in that regard. That is fine. I will be a bit parochial in my example. Others have said this too but if the Department had a choice again, would it have taken over the hotel in Roscrea?

Alan Kelly: It is, obviously, the last social venue and it causes huge issues in an area. To be fair to the people of Roscrea, who I represent, it caused huge issues to an area in which a significant number of people were already being accommodated, and accommodated very well, by the way.
