Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion (11 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: Dr. Jones does not have it with him? Can he give me evidence now? If he is going to make a statement like that he had better be able to back it up.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion (11 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: I could show the doctor another piece of evidence that shows that is not true. I think it falls flat on its face if Professor Jones is saying that in countries where a framework for assisted dying has been put in place, suicide rates go up. I think that is very flimsy evidence, to say the least. I just do not buy it. Those who are opposed to assisted dying always say that being a burden...

Gino Kenny: 88. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality if she is aware that the Irish residence permit costs €300 every year for most non-EU people over the age of 18, but an organisation (details supplied) estimates that the cost to the State of producing and delivering the permit is just €20.44; if she will reduce the cost of these permits; and if she will make a...

Progress on the National Parks and Wildlife Service: Statements (6 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: I commend the Minister of State for quite a positive statement. There has been a new appreciation of nature and our country since the pandemic. Even prior to that, there was a new appreciation for our seas, land, rivers, streams, mountains, beautiful parks and surroundings and mountains, which is a very good thing. There are six national parks in Ireland, dotted across almost each corner...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: I thank Mr. Hourihan for his opening statement. It paints a stark picture of oral healthcare. Anyone reading it would realise that the oral healthcare system is in a state of chassis. The witnesses can correct me if I am wrong, but the public oral healthcare system was in better shape 25 years ago than it is now. As Mr. Hourihan stated, that has a knock-on effect in the context of...

Gino Kenny: Is Dr. Robins talking about children?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Irish Dental Association Strategic Workforce Plan: Irish Dental Association (5 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: Yes, it is a very stark picture, to say the least. I want to ask a question about people who go to different jurisdictions to get cosmetic work done. We know a lot of people go to Turkey and other countries for extensive cosmetic dentistry work. They probably pay about one quarter of what they would pay in Ireland to get similar work done. The costs involved are much lower. If people can...

A5 Route Upgrade: Motion [Private Members] (4 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: People Before Profit welcomes and will support this motion. The A5 should have been completed a long time ago. One reason it has fallen behind is that, both North and South, environmental issues were not given any priority in the original design of the road. It was left to individual citizens, mainly in the North, to lobby and even go to court to try to compel the authorities to fulfil...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (4 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: The Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use is examining the issue of drug use and this is an important issue and assembly. Early indications are that the citizens in that assembly are moving towards a more progressive approach on drug use. That is welcome and it is a reflection of society but the big question is as follows: whatever the recommendations are, will this Government give a commitment...
