Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members]: Ukraine War (31 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: I wish the Tánaiste well in his new role. In his role as Minister for Foreign Affairs in a neutral country, what does he intend to do to send the message of neutrality, especially regarding the conflict in Ukraine? As most people have seen, this is a brutal war carried out by a brutal regime.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members]: Ukraine War (31 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: I will not mince my words. I do not believe that anyone minces their words in this Chamber. Putin is a war criminal. The crimes he has committed in the past year against the Ukrainian people are tantamount to war crimes; they are akin to what Nazi Germany did to most of Europe and Russia. He has caused untold suffering to the Ukrainian people. The resistance by the Ukrainian people has...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members]: Ukraine War (31 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: Looking at the past year and the evolution of this conflict, who knows where it will end. With continued escalation and more heavy weaponry, such as the tanks provided by the western alliance, someone somewhere will have to ask where we are going with this conflict. Is it escalation or de-escalation? All wars end but this war has the potential to escalate into a war that could go beyond...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (2 Feb 2023)

Gino Kenny: I am glad the Tánaiste touched on the issue around EU battle groups. Does he not think that Ireland's participation in these groups undermines Ireland's neutrality? That is a very straight question.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (2 Feb 2023)

Gino Kenny: I refer to the EU battle groups which the Tánaiste has mentioned. Does this not erode Ireland's neutrality which has been a policy for decades? It has given huge credence to Ireland's international standing not to take part in any military exercise that is seen as, not defensive, but offensive. I read by this that any participation by Ireland in these groups in a breach of neutrality.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (2 Feb 2023)

Gino Kenny: I disagree with the Tánaiste. This is a flagrant breach of Ireland's neutrality. If you look at Ireland's participation even in the Nordic battle groups, the evolution can be seen and how Ireland is being pulled into more of a European defence army. Even on the commentary in the House in relation to eroding Ireland's triple lock status, the former Minister for Defence, Deputy Coveney,...

Gino Kenny: Yes. Good morning and happy St. Brigid's Day. This is the first day of the Irish spring and a very positive day of the year.
