An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: At the weekend, almost 50 people overdosed on contaminated heroin. Traces of synthetic opioid were found in samples of the heroin they took. Thankfully, no one has died as a result of the overdoses because of interventions made using a drug called naloxone, which is welcome. There are issues with naloxone, which is a prescribed drug. Experts in the field say it should be more available in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: I thank everyone for sharing their stories at the committee today. As Deputy Cullinane said, this health committee has been going on for the last three-and-a-half years but it is extremely powerful to hear personal testimonies and stories. It is very helpful in relation to understanding sepsis. I have a number of questions, which have probably been raised before. Is there a medical...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: Right. Mr. Hughes mentioned a very important word. He said that there are certain circumstances where many of these could be "preventable". What could the HSE put in place so that people could be prevented from dying in certain circumstances?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Awareness, Prevention and Services for the Treatment of Sepsis: Discussion (15 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: It is obviously very important to get through that. My final question is about intervention. Obviously, intervention is key in relation to sepsis and the sooner the better. Yet, what are we talking about? When somebody presents themselves in an accident and emergency department, what kind of timeframe are we talking about to prevent somebody from going into an almost irreversible state?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: I have a short question for the Taoiseach. Will the Government lift the recruitment embargo on front-line workers in the HSE? This is obviously having a hugely detrimental effect on our public health system. Is there a vision to lift this embargo? It is having a terrible effect on day-to-day services that we all rely on.

Health Service Recruitment Freeze: Motion [Private Members] (21 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: I thank Sinn Féin for tabling the motion. We are all feeling a bit of shock at the recruitment embargo in the health service. Rather than going into a state of contraction in respect of recruitment and need, we should be expanding, and anybody would agree with that. The embargo is going to have a detrimental effect on our health services, and those fault lines between private and...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Contracts (21 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: Given the murderous assault by the Israel Defense Forces does the Tánaiste's Department intend to continue to purchase goods from Israel whether they are for defensive reasons or for dual purpose reasons? As the Tánaiste will have seen, Israel is not a normal state. Israel runs on the basis of perpetual violence and oppression. How can any state call itself a democracy while...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Contracts (21 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: Why would the Tánaiste's Department have any sort of trade agreement with the state of Israel? In the last five years, the Tánaiste's Department has procured more than €6 million of Israeli defence equipment. Some of that is for dual use. Will the Tánaiste tell me - or give me a kind of an answer - as to why in the name of hell would this country want to do any sort...
