Scrambler Motorbikes and Quad Bikes: Motion [Private Members] (17 Nov 2020)

Gino Kenny: I thank Sinn Féin for this motion. It is quite comprehensive and deals with all the substantial issues in this situation. I was thinking about what to say today and the irresponsible use of these vehicles, which are very dangerous, is a huge issue in the area I come from in Clondalkin. There are parallels between this and the epidemic of stolen cars in the mid-1990s. I am not going...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (11 Nov 2020)

Gino Kenny: I do not doubt the bona fides of the Government with regard to the plight of the Palestinian people. We have a good record in this country. Our history is one of being colonised and brutalised and we always have a historical context for supporting the Palestinians. That is great but we must go beyond that.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (10 Nov 2020)
