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

Alan Kelly: ...and essentially a complete contradiction of what we are trying to achieve globally. The EU is asking Irish farmers to set aside land for nature restoration on the one hand, but incentivising farmers in South America to destroy habitat on the other by importing 99,000 tonnes of beef from there. President Macron has said this is a bad deal and my colleague has said it does not stack up...

Alan Kelly: .... Why is GSOC not, in the public interest, investigating what happened here? Why is it not investigating the investigators and investigating why these cases took so long?

Alan Kelly: ...Taoiseach that the reason the then Minister, former Deputy Michael Noonan, brought in real estate investment trusts, REITs, in 2011 or 2011 was because the Taoiseach and his colleagues damn well destroyed this country with their housing policies.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (4 Mar 2021)

Alan Kelly: I want to ask the Tánaiste today about the volume of job losses recently. It is destroying the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people.

Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: ...of Health as "Angola" and saying every Minister who goes in there tries to live to see the day when he or she will get out of it. For all of us, this should not be the case.

Does that not say a great deal about the politics of health in Ireland and the way in which the ultimate end users, the patients affected and the women whose lives have been destroyed, were treated?

Alan Kelly: ...the Minister's predecessor and I understood it was ongoing. There is no way we can allow €11 million to be invested into lands and then have the owner of those lands run horses across the lands, destroying the investment.

Mahon Tribunal Report: Statements (Resumed) (29 Mar 2012)

Alan Kelly: ...he needed. There was a reason Fianna Fáil supported the property class so much.
