Residential Institutions Statutory Fund: Motion [Private Members] (24 May 2017)

Gino Kenny: I welcome the motion brought forward by the Independents 4 Change in regard to the operations of Caranua. I knew little about this organisation up to six months ago. I now have a lot of information about it, including in relation to the recent briefing. In my view, Caranua is not fit for purpose at this point in time. The survivors for whom the organisation was set up to assist have been...

Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, had two...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: Public Inquiries (23 May 2017)

Gino Kenny: I will cut straight to the chase. I do not understand it. This August will bring the sixth anniversary of Shane O'Farrell's untimely and, in my opinion, preventable, death.

I understand there must be due process but I have lost confidence, not only in the process but in the ability of the Tánaiste to investigate this.
