Joint Committee On Health: Impacts of Covid-19 on Youth Mental Health and Psychological Services: Discussion (6 Jul 2021)

Gino Kenny: I am happy enough with that. It is really important that the witnesses are highlighting this issue today. Obviously, student nurses highlighted the issue earlier this year with regard to unpaid work. That goes across the allied professionals and the health service where a whole cohort on the front line are not getting paid for the work they are doing. That is leading to a huge amount of...

Covid-19 Vaccine Roll-out: Statements (2 Jul 2021)

Gino Kenny: I too would like to raise serious questions in regard to the "Prime Time" programme last night. There must be a public inquiry in regard to what happened in nursing homes last year in the interests of the loved ones and relatives and in the public interest. It is inevitable that that will happen. Vaccine roll-out is a logistical challenge. This country has been quite good in administering...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (1 Jul 2021)

Gino Kenny: I want to raise an issue in respect of the programme for Government, specifically the health-led approach to drug misuse outlined on page 50. Previous Governments have paid lip service to this issue. So much so, that thousands of people would still be alive had it not been for the lip service that Governments have paid to this issue. We have to take a different approach. The current...

Industrial Relations (Provisions in Respect of Pension Entitlements of Retired Workers) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 Jun 2021)

Gino Kenny: I will probably use three minutes. First, I commend the retired workers we met yesterday outside the gates of Leinster House. There was a whole plethora of workers from semi-State, State and the private sector. They gave their working lives, not only to their families and their companies, but to the State. These workers were well-organised, in the great spirit of the trade unionism....

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (24 Jun 2021)

Gino Kenny: I want to raise an issue I have raised numerous times with the Tánaiste and his colleagues, and one which is also in the programme for Government, namely the commitment to the medical cannabis access programme. Obviously there was good news in January from the Minister for Health that the funding would be obtained via the HSE service plan. Will the Tánaiste give campaigners a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (24 Jun 2021)

Gino Kenny: I commend Damien Duff and Richie Sadlier on their critique of UEFA's decision regarding the football match in Munich. We have all enjoyed football over the past seven days, but UEFA's decision was unforgivable and spineless in terms of standing up for human rights, as the Minister said. At this particular juncture, when people are coming together in football terms, it has shown a lack of...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (24 Jun 2021)

Gino Kenny: I welcome the statement of the Minister. It was robust. People Before Profit express our solidarity with the LGBT community not only in Hungary but across the world and in Ireland. Given that it is Pride week, it is very relevant. At one stage, people not only in Ireland were hounded, marginalised and put in situations where it was extremely difficult for them. In our organisation we...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (24 Jun 2021)

Gino Kenny: I want to give an example of the murderous intent of the Israeli Government. There is a project in Palestine called the Better Learning Programme, which is funded by the Irish taxpayer and the Norwegian Refugee Council. Eleven children participating in that programme were murdered in May, most of them in their homes. I do not know how the Minister and his counterparts can stand over, and...
