Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: I have to step out for much of the discussion because of our Private Members' Bill. I thank all the witnesses for appearing before us today. I do not know a huge amount about this issue but I am obviously learning. It is a fascinating subject. I am not sure if anybody has mentioned a perinatal division in Ireland. Approximately a year ago, I saw a report on perinatal care and mother and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: There is a proposal on the HSE website for a mother and baby unit on the campus of St. Vincent's hospital, which is very welcome. To return to the statistic from the NHS that I read out in regard to some women having mental health difficulties, the problem is difficult to quantify. How common is postnatal depression and how is it treated? The mental health of a good friend of mine...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: Ms Cahill talked about cases where women could develop psychosis. How does that manifest itself? Is it before or after giving birth? How does it develop in new mothers?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Updates on Breastfeeding: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: I thank Ms Cahill. That was very useful.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (11 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: Unfortunately, I find the Minister's words hollow. Expressing his concerns to the Israeli ambassador is a weak response, to say the least. His counterparts in the EU are weak as well. Consider what is happening with the EU and the deal with Israel regarding economic development. It is incredible. Israel is not a normal state. It is a racist state, and it exists on racism.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (11 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: Most people watching tonight's debate will be asking themselves what Israel needs to do for a country like Ireland, or any others, to start treating it as a normal state. According to this document from Human Rights Watch, Israel practices "the crimes of apartheid and persecution". It is a state that exists on division, racism and state violence and a state that uses subjugation as a weapon...

Written Answers — Department of Health: Covid-19 Pandemic (11 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: 936. To ask the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Irish students who are completing studies abroad of courses not available in Ireland and who are returning to see family and work after a period of quarantine will find the cost of mandatory hotel quarantine prohibitive and this will substantially affect their ability to complete their studies; his views on...

Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (6 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: Today was significant in the fight against this pandemic. Today, the Biden Administration made an announcement, and other Deputies have mentioned this, with regard to waving intellectual property rights. This is significant for the people's vaccine. The EU has made soundings that it will review its position. Given that an astronomical amount of public money has been given to some of these...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Whistleblower Allegations: Department of Health (5 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: Most people who watched the "Prime Time" programme would have been quite uneasy in respect of what they saw. I think the findings of the programme were wholly unsatisfactory, whether Mr. Watt agrees or not. Nobody has ever said that the practice that was going on in the Department of Health was illegal. Was it ethically correct? Families are bringing the State to court for the provision of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Whistleblower Allegations: Department of Health (5 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: I understand the dimensions around this. However, there was a fundamental breach of trust in this regard in respect of families. Does this practice still continue in the Departments of Health and Education? Shane Corr stated last week that Ministers and Deputies should know that databases containing representations made to them by the public were searched across Departments. What...

National Autism Empowerment Strategy: Motion [Private Members] (29 Apr 2021)

Gino Kenny: I am sharing time with Deputy Barry if he is present. I welcome the Labour Party motion on autism services. It is a very well-thought-out motion and nobody could argue with the contents of it. A number of Deputies from Dublin Mid-West recently met the Minister for State in respect of ongoing issues in community healthcare organisation, CHO, 7, which I represent as part of Dublin...

Covid-19, Mental Health and Older People: Statements (29 Apr 2021)

Gino Kenny: I am sure the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, will agree that older people have paid a terrible price over the past 14 months. The pandemic has robbed some of them of their lives and final moments they should have had with their families. Bonding and togetherness have been temporarily stolen, but this generation is resilient and will overcome. We will all meet again very soon. My...
