- Child Homelessness: Statements (15 Dec 2017)
Gino Kenny: A Cheann Comhairle, along with my colleagues I wish you and the staff a happy Christmas. Before I came into the Chamber I was trying to think of a saying to talk about the ongoing housing crisis. One thing went through my head; I do not know who wrote it.
- Child Homelessness: Statements (15 Dec 2017)
Gino Kenny: The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Over the past two years, the issue of the housing crisis has dominated these benches. The statistics say everything. In 2014, 880 children were homeless in the State while by 2017, that number had increased to 3,100. Obviously, something is dramatically wrong with the current...

- Other Questions: Middle East Peace Process (13 Dec 2017)
Gino Kenny: I do not know who writes the Minister's statements but surely he does not believe that. Surely he does not believe that, as the two-state solution is non-existent? What happened last week was a deeply incendiary act by Donald Trump and was calculated to cause a reaction in the Middle East. Jerusalem will never be the capital of Israel and should never be formally recognised by the EU....
- Other Questions: Middle East Peace Process (13 Dec 2017)
Gino Kenny: While there is a conflict here, it is a David and Goliath conflict and at the heart of it Israel is fundamentally not the liberal state that the EU paints it as. It is a racist apartheid state, as much as South Africa was back in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The time for treating Israel as a normal state is over. Israel is a cancer in the Middle East. It is there to confront and humiliate...

- Home Care Packages: Motion [Private Members] (12 Dec 2017)
Gino Kenny: They are very pedantic. I will get it right the next time. I commend them on the bulk of their motion but there are certain things with which I do not agree, though they are for another day. Having worked as a care assistant for the past 16 years of my life, and for five years as a home care worker before I came in here, I understand the vital importance of home care work, not only for the...
