Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Smart Community Initiative: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

Martin Kenny: I do not see how the local libraries in my area would be suitable because there is public access in and out of them all of the time and there is not space, in general. Mohill is a town near to where I live. The old vocational school building in Mohill has lain idle for years. I approached the vocational education committee about allowing a community project to use the building but the VEC...

JobPath Programme: Motion [Private Members] (5 Feb 2019)

Martin Kenny: JobPath has been an abject failure for the people who have engaged with it, virtually throughout Ireland. In my constituency, everyone engaged in the JobPath process with whom I have spoken has said so. I am not just talking about those who have entered the scheme and found that it did not work for them because they did not find the kind of job they wanted. People who found jobs they...

Prohibition of Above-cost Ticket Touting Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (31 Jan 2019)

Martin Kenny: We welcome anything that resolves this issue and makes progress as the Bill attempts to do. I know that in the past Deputy Quinlivan has also made strides in that direction. In the past ten to 15 years as online booking has come increasingly into play we have had a problem. Prior to that people had to go to the local shop that had the agency for supplying tickets. They queued up there...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Statements (31 Jan 2019)

Martin Kenny: Approximately ten days ago, I received an email from a constituent about her little boy, Patrick. Patrick is ten years old and he first engaged with the HSE services more than four years ago. The family feel they have been let down for all that time. In February of last year he was diagnosed with ADHD. At the time, CAMHS suggested an autism assessment. In June he was sent for an urgent...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (31 Jan 2019)

Martin Kenny: As the Tánaiste is aware, there is a clear commitment in the programme for Government to provide for health services. Sligo University Hospital has been awaiting the provision of a cath lab for many years. It has been an issue probably for the past two decades. It is also waiting on the provision of two 21-bed units. There are major problems with overcrowding in the hospital because...

National Surplus (Reserve Fund for Exceptional Contingencies) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2019)

Martin Kenny: This proposal in this Bill flies in the face of most people's logic. It is proposed that we would have a rainy day fund. When hearing about it initially the public will say it is a good idea to have savings and have something put by. However, when one studies it, while the money is to be put away, it cannot be spent under Stability and Growth Pact rules and all the other rules in place on...

Juvenile Crime: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2019)

Martin Kenny: There are a number of issues raised by this motion that spring straight to mind. I was contacted by email in late 2016 by a constituent about her daughter's situation. The latter travelled by bus with her friends to an underage disco, with some of them drinking on the bus. When she arrived, she was dragged down an alleyway by a number of boys and sexually assaulted. One of the boys in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Live Exports: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (29 Jan 2019)

Martin Kenny: Many of the questions have been dealt with but I am interested in the capacity issue. If 80,000 animals were to be shipped per month for 12 months, it would be a fourfold increase on the present figure. I believe 246,000 were exported last year, which shows there is already huge capacity. What is the number of calves being exported? I assume a lot go to feedlots. At what stage do they go...
