Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Service Executive: Engagement with Chief Executive Officer (22 Mar 2023)

Gino Kenny: On the very topical issue of health and safety issues in the working environment for nurses, doctors and so forth, and the INMO has continually stated that the working environment is not good for its members or for patients.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Military Neutrality (23 Mar 2023)

Gino Kenny: I disagree on the basis that there have been soundings, even from the Minister, and from other Ministers, on Ireland's neutrality. Let us look at the evidence. Why would Ireland participate in an EU battle group in the first place? Permanent structured co-operation, PESCO, also comes into play, as does the use of Shannon Airport as a military base. Millions of American troops have gone...

Safe Staffing Levels in Hospitals: Statements (23 Mar 2023)
