Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Funding (24 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: This centres around the community safety innovation fund the Department announced on 11 April. I want to find out about the longevity of the fund. Will it be directed towards communities affected by crime?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Funding (24 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: I welcome this funding from the proceeds of crime and the Criminal Assets Bureau. I can think of many initiatives and projects that could benefit from this funding, particularly in the area I represent which has been greatly affected by organised crime. The profits largely go unseen by CAB but the community will benefit from an element of them through this fund. From my understanding,...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Funding (24 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: We agree that the best way to tackle the causes of crime is to invest in communities. I would argue that social deprivation and marginalisation draw people into criminality. It can be very complex. Criminality involving drugs is extremely profitable. With the trappings come major amounts of money. There is an echelon who extremely well out of that and who generally do not live in the...

Journalists in Conflicts across the World: Statements (24 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: Journalism is an art form. Many of us admire the great journalists who have exposed the brutality of some terrible regimes. It is a skill in itself. It is a skill of telling the truth to us all. Those words could summarise Shireen Abu Akleh. She was a journalist who enjoyed great trustworthiness and respect across not only the Middle East but the whole world. Two weeks ago, Israel...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: Over the weekend, the Psychiatric Nurses Association confirmed that 11 out of 23 beds would close until September at the Linn Dara site in Cherry Orchard. We were here five years ago. Alarm bells ring when a state-of-the-art facility such as Linn Dara, which provides an absolutely vital service for young people, cannot provide staff. If this happened five years ago, why did the HSE and the...

Just Transition: Statements (18 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: I welcome this important debate. Just transition is not just a national policy but an international policy. Environmentalists use the great phase that we must act locally and think globally. Everything we do locally is everything we do globally. For a just transition, we need to think of the environmental space as the place and country in which we live and the world we all share. That...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (18 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: On my way to Leinster House today, I visited Cherry Orchard Hospital, where medical scientists are on strike in relation to pay and retention, among many other matters. On the way here, many of us would have seen a lot of flags around the place indicating support for front-line workers. There are two such flags in Kilmainham, which I go by everyday. I always think of that time when...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: I will focus on a statement made over the weekend by the Irish Hospital Consultants Association. It was quite a critique of where Sláintecare is going and the state of our public health services. It was a very thorough critique of where we are. The association said that there was a severe shortage of consultants in the public health service and that 838 consultant places need to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2022: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: My final question is about the National Treatment Purchase Fund. The Irish Hospital Consultants Association said that nearly 1 million people are on waiting lists. What percentage of the 1 million people waiting on medical procedures will be directed towards the private health system? We all agree that there is a two-tier health system in this country. There is a private health system and...

National Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (17 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: To say the past two weeks have been a sorry saga is an underestimation. In the past nine years, successive Governments have had a chance to get this right but have got it very wrong. We all agree that maternity services in the places where women have children are antiquated. We all agree with that. Those services need to be modernised. The heart of the debate, and not only in the past...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: Like me and most Members of the House, the Taoiseach will have been horrified by the cold-blooded murder of Palestinian journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh. To compound that misery, the Israeli Defence Force attacked sympathisers just for waving the Palestinian flag. Some 50 Palestinian journalists have been systematically murdered by the Israeli Defence Force over the past 20 years. Many people...
