Juvenile Crime: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2019)

Gino Kenny: I want to start with a comment the Garda Commissioner Drew Harris made about the report to the Policing Authority. It is reflective of the debate we are going to have. Commissioner Harris said that we should have done better by young people who were "in the main, vulnerable children". That says everything about the report. The motion touches on some serious incidents that happened...

Children's Rights: Motion [Private Members] (6 Feb 2019)

Gino Kenny: We could not argue with any of the content of the Labour Party motion. In the 100 years since the Democratic Programme of the First Dáil child inequality is now, as it was then, compounded by social class. This is a "C" word we should use more often. Disadvantage is determined by political policy and postal address. Class or location should never define a person’s ability to...

Nurses and Midwives Industrial Action: Statements (7 Feb 2019)

Gino Kenny: I take issue with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform's statement on the Public Service Pay Commission. What he said goes to the heart of this dispute. He said that the commission found that pay was not found to be one of the determining factors. Does he believe this anymore because pay, retention and respect for nursing staff are at the heart of this dispute? We could have a...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Feb 2019)

Gino Kenny: I raise an issue I have raised on numerous occasions over the past two and a half years, that is, access to medicinal cannabis.

Nurses, Midwives and Paramedics Strikes: Motion [Private Members] (13 Feb 2019)

Gino Kenny: I am not sure whether the Minister was at the march on Saturday but a few of us were and it was probably one of the best marches I have been on for a long time. The only comparison I can make with Saturday's march is the anti-water charges marches. There was a great atmosphere. I do not think any workers have the same respect among the public as nurses. The level of solidarity and support...

The 25 families want to know what the decision...

European Defence Agency Project: Motion (19 Feb 2019)

Gino Kenny: I am shocked at some of the statements that the Labour Party and Fine Gael are coming out with today. We cannot dress this up any other way. This motion provides more nails for the coffin of Irish neutrality. The Minister of State spoke about the European Defence Agency in the Oireachtas Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence. To paraphrase, the Minister of State...
