Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Trade Relations (30 Sep 2021)

Gino Kenny: I do not think that the Minister gets it. He comes in here on a weekly basis and says that he is against the annexation of Palestinian lands but at the same time he treats Israel as a normal state.

Planning and Development (Climate Emergency Measures) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 Sep 2021)

Gino Kenny: Over recent weeks, there has been much conjecture about possible blackouts because of energy shortages. Ministers and the Taoiseach have said there may not be a guaranteed supply of electricity in the future. If it was not so serious, this would be very funny, but it is extremely serious.
