Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (27 Jan 2022)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (27 Jan 2022)

Gino Kenny: This is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. This has left tens of thousands of people dead, including 10,000 children either killed or maimed. Some of the pictures that have consequently come out of Yemen are almost incomprehensible. It is grotesque to watch how a country such as Saudi Arabia, which is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, basically inflict absolute terror...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Foreign Conflicts (27 Jan 2022)

Gino Kenny: The Minister visited Saudi Arabia last summer. Did he speak to his counterpart in regards to not only the human rights violation in Saudi Arabia, but also the situation in Yemen? Has the Minister spoken to his counterparts in the EU about action against Saudi Arabia?

Youth Mental Health: Statements (26 Jan 2022)

Gino Kenny: Okay. Sometimes it is a generational thing. It is difficult, especially now. Being young now is very difficult. It brings its own challenges. One of them is in regard to intervention. We say that when a young person needs intervention it has to be there because early intervention is key.
