Gino Kenny: I thank all of the delegates for their very insightful presentations. I have two specific questions, one of which is for Ms Griffith.

Topical Issue Debate: Drugs Payment Scheme Coverage (13 Feb 2018)

Gino Kenny: The system is overly bureaucratic and compassion gets lost in bureaucracy. I acknowledge that there is an appeals mechanism and that appeals are dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but surely this is putting people through unnecessary suffering and bureaucracy.

Even though it is a limited measure in...

National Broadband Plan: Motion [Private Members] (6 Feb 2018)

Gino Kenny: The story of rural broadband is a damning indictment of the love affair of establishment parties with privatisation. In 2007, 2012 and 2014, all Ministers with responsibility for communications promised broadband for rural Ireland. In reality, over 800,000 houses in rural Ireland have no access to broadband. To give the debate historical context, I note the hypocrisy of Fianna Fáil in...
