- Youth Homelessness: Statements (18 Apr 2019)
Gino Kenny: The crux of the matter is that we have commodified public housing. It is the reason we have a crisis on our hands. If the Government cannot provide shelter, it does not deserve to be in office. As I indicated to Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, as long as the Government has a policy of selling public land to private developers at the height of a housing crisis, that crisis will remain with us...

- Youth Homelessness: Statements (18 Apr 2019)
Gino Kenny: Behind the statistics there are people and behind the people are children. The report of the Ombudsman for Children, published today, gives a glimpse of what life is like for children in hubs. A hub is an unnatural environment for children. Their environment should be a home setting, where they can close the door after them and go to school. When the abnormal becomes normal we have a...
- Written Answers — Department of Finance: VAT Exemptions (17 Apr 2019)
Gino Kenny: 55. To ask the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the precedent set by his predecessor (details supplied) in which his predecessor intervened in a decision by the Revenue Commissioners to impose VAT on herbal teas in 2014 which resulted in the abandonment of the proposed VAT imposition; if he has given consideration to intervening in the proposed imposition of 23% VAT on...

- A Better World: Ireland's Policy for International Development: Statements (11 Apr 2019)
Gino Kenny: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing this very worthwhile debate on an area of huge interest to me. It shows commitment to solidarity with the most vulnerable people on the planet, whether they are threatened by conflict, famine or environmental catastrophe. Across the world there are many people who volunteer through NGOs or from their own altruism to go across the world and help their...

Gino Kenny: The Minister is like the invisible man these days.
- Fibromyalgia: Statements (4 Apr 2019)
Gino Kenny: On a point of order, we are making statements rather than discussing the motion I have in my hand, but I request that the Minister of State ask her colleagues in Government to take up this motion and table it themselves. They may choose to modify it, but it really goes to the crux of the matter we have been discussing. I appeal to the Minister of State to bring the motion back to her...

Gino Kenny: Yes it is.
- Fibromyalgia: Statements (4 Apr 2019)
Gino Kenny: I welcome everybody in the Public Gallery to this important debate. I thank the Business Committee for agreeing to take statements on fibromyalgia, which is an important subject. I presume this discussion has been arranged on foot of the motion on the issue I submitted last week. I am disappointed with the number of Deputies who have turned up thus far. Many people are watching and...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Apr 2019)
Gino Kenny: I wish to raise the proposed cannabis access programme. I understand that an importation licence has been granted to a company for medicinal cannabis products. That is welcome news, as this situation has been dragged out. I have two questions. When will the programme be set up? The programme's current guidelines are extremely restrictive and many people will not be given access. In...
- Autism Support Services: Motion [Private Members] (2 Apr 2019)
Gino Kenny: I commend Deputy Funchion and Sinn Féin for tabling this motion. She has done sterling work in this area. It is appropriate that we discuss this issue on World Autism Awareness Day. Awareness is crucial to understanding. In the past, autistic adults were institutionalised, marginalised and, at worst, hospitalised in this country. Thankfully, society's approach towards people with...
