Other Questions: Local Authority Housing (13 Jul 2017)

Gino Kenny: I hope the action plan is a success but I highly doubt it will be. I am trying to be an optimist, not a sceptic. One thing that has been flagged in Rebuilding Ireland is a parcel of land in Clondalkin, where I live, that is owned by the council. It is an 80-acre site and the plan is to sell it off to a private developer. Anyone in this House who thinks it is logical to sell public land to...

Youth Homelessness: Statements (18 Apr 2019)

Gino Kenny: ...on our hands. If the Government cannot provide shelter, it does not deserve to be in office. As I indicated to Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, as long as the Government has a policy of selling public land to private developers at the height of a housing crisis, that crisis will remain with us perennially until the policy changes.

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (13 Jun 2018)

Gino Kenny: ...on this point, which really gets at the heart of the problem. There is a site in Clondalkin called Kilcarbery Grange. It is a site of 71 acres and it is being sold off to private developers. This land could provide as many as 900 social and affordable homes. It is owned by the State, which is selling it off to developers. The council will then buy back 30% of the houses from the...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2018)

Gino Kenny: ...our colleagues in the Labour Party and Fianna Fáil that there is an onus on their councillors to vote against this deal. At the height of the worst crisis in our generation we are selling public land to a developer. We cannot do so; the land needs to stay in public ownership. Today has been fantastic and it is just the start of a bigger movement across the country, but I do not...

Topical Issue Debate: Schools Building Projects (26 Sep 2017)

Gino Kenny: ...'s response is quite positive. We sometimes get negative news when we come in here. I hope the issues raised in the Minister's statement can be overcome. In particular, the issue relating to the land in the local area can be overcome quite quickly by South Dublin County Council. I would like to mention some other parallels. A really good primary school is being built by Stewarts in...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Maternity Hospital (31 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: Is the Minister confident that will happen because this has been an ongoing saga for the past ten years? For the casual observer, it is extremely confusing in relation to the ownership of the land and the ethos of the building itself. I understand the building will be owned by the State but the board will still be run by a private holding, that is, the Religious Sisters of Charity. If that...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (25 Jan 2024)

Gino Kenny: I agree. Settler violence against Palestinians has intensified. This is a policy of the Israeli government to drive Palestinians from land and to use intimidation and violence against Palestinians. This is ongoing. However, there must be accountability. One of the schools mentioned by the Tánaiste, in a village called Khirbet Zanuta, was funded by Irish Aid and was completely...

Gino Kenny: ..., murdered for doing nothing, murdered because they were Palestinian. The world is watching while the state of Israel conducts collective punishment against the Palestinian people on occupied lands. When is the right time to expel the Israeli ambassador to Ireland? If it is not now, when will it be? This has been going on for generations. The Israeli Government, with impunity, has...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Land Issues (8 Feb 2022)

Gino Kenny: .... At this moment, however, nothing has been done as regards the Collinstown site. Judging from the response to a parliamentary question, there is obviously an issue with the transfer of land from the Department of Education to the HSE. That may be the case, but the people who are being disadvantaged are those who live in the area. They need this healthcare centre as soon as...

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. Would he have said the same about apartheid South Africa in the 1980s, for example? No, he would not. That is the contradiction that we as Deputies in the Opposition constantly point out to...

Topical Issue Debate: Architectural Heritage (1 Feb 2017)

Gino Kenny: ...of Luggala estate. I probably go to Wicklow once a week. The backdrop with that road coming into Luggala estate is probably the most scenic and picturesque place not just in Wicklow, but in Ireland. Thousands of people use the amenity each year. There would be great value to owning the house and its 5,000 acres. It is an incredible site. I do not know if the Minister of State has...
