- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Integrated Eye Care: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

The goodwill that greeted the bonus has largely diminished because of the delay. Workers want to know when they will get their payments.
- Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Sep 2022)
Gino Kenny: I am sharing time with Deputy Boyd Barrett. We welcome and support this Bill. It is amazing to think that the Brexit referendum, which led to many anomalies, happened six and a half years ago. As a consequence of Brexit, there has been a correction in regard to medical interns studying in Britain or the North of Ireland to come back here. That is a good thing. If we can attract...
