An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Oct 2022)

Gino Kenny: The Department of Health announced six specialist menopause clinics in recent weeks. This is very welcome in standardising women's health in Ireland. There is an issue with staffing but it is to be hoped that can be overcome. The issue I have been contacted about by a number of women in my constituency is in regard to the price. If a person does not have a medical card, he or she will...

Social and Affordable Housing Supply: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (26 Oct 2022)

Gino Kenny: There is something extremely dysfunctional about housing supply and policy in this country. The policy can be traced back decades. It is one of commodification of shelter. That is the heart of this debate about the crisis of homelessness. Corporate bodies saw that ideology and they saw bricks and mortar as something to invest and speculate in and get very rich on. They did this not only...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Regional Health Areas Advisory Group (26 Oct 2022)

Gino Kenny: Many people working in the health service are put to the pin of their collar concerning everything going on. Turning to Mr. Kearns's statement, his critique of our health service is a breath of fresh air. This is how it can be corrected. Mr. Kearns uses words like "a joined-up, integrated approach to service planning and delivery and ... [empowerment of] those who deliver that care". Is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Sláintecare Implementation: Regional Health Areas Advisory Group (26 Oct 2022)
