Default Newbie - removing paing from concrete wall

Hi there,

I went to start painting my kitchen, but noticed a bit of the old pain was
peeling off and underneath the concrete wall was revealed.

I thought I better get this off and before you know it 80% of the paint has
been removed to down to the wall with just using a scraper. However the
remaining 20% seems very hard to get off with a scraper and sanding it just
seems impossible.

Therefore,

1) What should I use go get the remaining paint (patchy) of the walls. I
want to make it as easy as possible and doing so will give me a nice even
concrete surface to start on.

2) What should I use to undercoat the wall before I paint it so that my once
pain goes on without a hitch (I imagine not good to paint right on to
concrete)? I used Dulux plaster sealer on the ceiling and then a coat of One
coat and it worked very well).

Thanks in advance.

Dave
