Gino Kenny: Thanks. That is very useful.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying in New Zealand and Australia: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
Gino Kenny: I have a question for Mr. Gaffney regarding the number of attempts before assisted dying became legal in Tasmania. What were the reasons in 2009, 2013 and 2016? Was it the case that the legislation was not up to scratch, or was it that the people of Tasmania were not ready for assisted dying?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying in New Zealand and Australia: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
Gino Kenny: I have a number of questions for Dr. Mewett. In relation to the states of Australia, it is my understanding New South Wales legislated and, as of today, people in New South Wales can avail of assisted dying. I think they are looking at legislation in Canberra. Is there any kind of difference in criteria in each of the states? My other question to Dr. Mewett is regarding the last line of...

Gino Kenny: Never heard it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying in New Zealand and Australia: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
Gino Kenny: I want to go back to Dr. Mewett in relation to the number of patients that he has dealt with and so forth. He said in his statement that 18 died before completion of the voluntary assisted dying process. What happened to those 18 people? I ask him to elaborate on that.

Gino Kenny: From the time somebody requests assisted dying, what timeframe are we talking about on average? Obviously, every case is slightly different.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying in New Zealand and Australia: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
Gino Kenny: As Dr. Mewett stated, in those situations some people who have been given permission to access voluntary assisted dying will not go through with that. There are many reasons for that. There is a comfort that someone coming to the end of life has an insurance policy that if things get really bad, they have this choice and control at least. For some people that is greatly comforting. I ask...

Gino Kenny: When they have access to that medication, do they physically have that medication?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying in New Zealand and Australia: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)
Gino Kenny: In that situation where that person has the medication, do they have to notify a doctor or anybody about what is going to happen?

Gino Kenny: The hostages.
- Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)
Gino Kenny: Millions of people across the world have taken to the streets in cities to show their solidarity and absolute horror at what has gone on in the last six weeks in Gaza. Last Saturday, more than 50,000 people went on the streets in Dublin and Belfast to show their solidarity. A whole cohort of people are becoming politicised by what is going on in Gaza. Not only do they see the hypocrisy of...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Contracts (21 Nov 2023)
Gino Kenny: Given the murderous assault by the Israel Defense Forces does the Tánaiste's Department intend to continue to purchase goods from Israel whether they are for defensive reasons or for dual purpose reasons? As the Tánaiste will have seen, Israel is not a normal state. Israel runs on the basis of perpetual violence and oppression. How can any state call itself a democracy while...

Gino Kenny: Why would the Tánaiste's Department have any sort of trade agreement with the state of Israel? In the last five years, the Tánaiste's Department has procured more than €6 million of Israeli defence equipment. Some of that is for dual use. Will the Tánaiste tell me - or give me a kind of an answer - as to why in the name of hell would this country want to do any sort...

Gino Kenny: Ireland needs to take a moral and principled stand against the state of Israel. In the past five years Ireland has spent €6 million procuring Israeli goods and services. Surely the Tánaiste is not saying that given what Israel has done in the past in the last six weeks - and continues to do - that somehow this is business as usual. Surely the Tánaiste does not believe...
