- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: In the past number of days, there have been reports in the media about people having adverse reactions to cannabis. This is quite concerning but where there is no regulation, someone will fill the gap and that is the black market. It is in everyone's interest in respect of harm reduction and regulation that there would be a different model for cannabis. In the absence of regulation, people...
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: He took extra minutes.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: We are living in very dangerous times, when the norms of international law, even in warfare, are being breached on a daily basis. We only have to look at what is taking place in Gaza. The pictures and images of what Israel is doing to human beings - children, women and men - are incomprehensible. In that context, Irish neutrality has always been sacred. It has been sacred from the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: I welcome the witnesses. They do really good work through their services. How many centres are there in Dublin at this time?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: There are three in Dublin. There are 22 in the State. You could argue for double, if not triple, that number of centres in the State to cater for people who want to use their services.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: It seems extraordinary that the centres' funding model is reliant on charity. We all know that, to generate the €8 million necessary to cover the costs, an enormous amount of time must go into fundraising. An amazing amount of time goes into that. That time could be spent enriching services. It just seems extraordinary. I hope they can get the funding they need in the budget.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Challenges Facing Community-based Cancer Support Services: Discussion (29 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: I will ask a final question because I am running out of time. Do the centres provide end-of-life counselling when people are in the latter stages of their illness?

- Ireland's Recognition of the State of Palestine: Statements (28 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: I do have not much time, but there are brutal times and happy times in all of our lives. The happy time is today, when we can celebrate and welcome the recognition of Palestine. Some people will call it symbolic, but symbolism brings huge hope across the world. Where there is hope, there is solidarity and friendship from the people of Ireland. However, there are also brutal times. Those...
- Written Answers — Department of Health: Nursing Homes (28 May 2024)

Gino Kenny: I thank the Minister of State.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Nursing Homes (23 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: I hope the Minister of State will be able to shed some light on what is happening with Lucan Lodge Nursing Home. There is a lot of uncertainty about its future. The 73 residents and 85 staff have been told recently that the nursing home might close down. This is having an effect on the relatives of the residents. There is a great deal of stress about what is happening. I understand...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Nursing Homes (23 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: This is a set of extraordinary circumstances. Googling this operator, it claims to be a multibillion dollar health provider in the United States. It is not some makeshift provider by any means. It has enormous assets behind it. Alarm bells are ringing about its very rudimentary fire compliance both in Sally Park and Lucan Lodge nursing homes. There are very serious questions to be asked...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: I am sure the Taoiseach, as a former health Minister, he is concerned about an article in The Irish Times on Monday on accessibility to cancer drugs. I will just quote some of what the oncologists said. They said public patients are facing huge delays in accessing cancer drugs and that a two-tier health system exists in the context of cancer drugs. They stated that less effective cancer...
- Dentistry Services: Motion (22 May 2024)
Gino Kenny: I commend the Social Democrats on introducing a motion on this important issue. The Minister of State attended a briefing by the Dental Council and the Irish Dental Association at the Joint Committee on Health a number of weeks ago. The picture they portrayed was stark in respect of oral healthcare in Ireland. The reality is that 80% of oral and dental healthcare is privatised. That was...
