- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: Can the Commissioner clarify this to the committee in a note?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: I want to move on to the nonconformity in relation to the destruction of defective ammunition rounds. The Commissioner will be well aware of this photograph I am displaying.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: He is well aware of it. On the declaration of destruction for that nonconformity in relation to the destruction of defective ammunition rounds, the overall costs go well beyond the recognised shipping and destruction costs of €160,000. The key issue is that a defective product was supplied by a company in Italy. The onus therefore was on that company and its agent in Ireland, which...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: That absolutely beggars belief. It is €160,000 of public money. If I bought a television, I would not pay to get rid of it. I would bring it back to the company that sold it to me. A total of €160,000 of the public's money was spent on the destruction of this ammunition and it did not pass the Commissioner's desk. Is Mr. Harris telling me that a member of sergeant rank...

Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: This is very questionable. Mr. Harris was well aware of the photograph. Was he made aware of this photograph before the declaration of destruction was sent out by the member of sergeant rank?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: I would appreciate it if a note could be sent back to the public accounts committee on that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: I thank Mr. Harris. I want to move on to the defective holsters. This issue has been raised on a number of occasions at the committee. They were purchased from Declan Clancy Saddlery in Kildare at an estimated cost of about €500,000. This issue has been raised publicly on a number of occasions, more than likely, obviously, due to the fact that it seriously injured a member of An...
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: So €500,000 of public money has been wasted with the shredding of these defective holsters.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: When he appeared before the public accounts committee previously, Mr. Harris said the holsters had been withdrawn from service, which suggests they were not up to the required standards.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: I am not asking about a certain case; I am asking about the equipment.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: Nothing has been done by An Garda Síochána on recouping €500,000 for these holsters.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: Does Mr. Harris believe that is acceptable?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: Mr. Harris might not have to hand the number of holsters bought for €500,000 and the number that were used.
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: Will Mr. Harris bring it back as a note to the committee, basically stating the number of holsters bought from the company in Kildare and the number of holsters used. I do understand that some of them were used but, at the same time, a number of them were probably not used. The suggestion has been made that there were not up to the correct standards. We have not gone back and tried to...
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: Given that the firearms had not been trafficked or imported into the State, does Mr. Harris believe the elaborate conduct of the operation surrounding the surveillance and the use of An Garda Síochána members was essential in this case?
- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Eoghan Kenny: I have finished, but I have asked that three pieces of correspondence be sent to the committee.
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medical Aids and Appliances (2 Jul 2025)
Eoghan Kenny: I wish to address the provision of incontinence products by the HSE. Although the Minister of State is not the line Minister, I wish to raise this serious issue for families across the country. Incontinence products are essential. They are used daily. I wish to speak specifically about incontinence products for children. I refer to a specific case raised by a parent with me in relation...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Medical Aids and Appliances (2 Jul 2025)
Eoghan Kenny: I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate that. When I offered my sympathy to the family, including the parent, the parent told me directly she did not want it. I appreciated that because, from a public representative's point of view, it was quite difficult for me that a parliamentary question did not outline specifically whether the child would be provided with the necessary...
- Nursing Homes: Motion [Private Members] (2 Jul 2025)
Eoghan Kenny: I second the motion. I thank my Labour Party colleagues, particularly Deputies Wall and Sherlock, for their work on it. I do not for a minute doubt the Minister of State's personal view on this issue but what we saw in the "RTÉ Investigates" programme proved there absolutely are systemic issues within HIQA. The fact HIQA took more than four months to investigate issues identified...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (2 Jul 2025)
Eoghan Kenny: I want to raise an important issue with the Minister. Cork City Council has sent a business case to the Government regarding the establishment of an integrated services hub. Across our towns and cities we are seeing more and more needs arising for individuals, particularly adults who are homeless. Across Cork we have charitable organisations offering beds for people to sleep, groups...
