Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Legal Protections and Sanctions: Discussion (4 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: I want to clarify a remark I made at the start. I was not implying that the Senator Seery Kearney was scaremongering. There are those, however, who oppose assisted dying, for all sorts of reasons, who do go into the territory of scaremongering, but I was not saying the Senator was scaremongering. I just wanted to clarify this point. I do not at all doubt the bona fides of the Senator...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Legal Protections and Sanctions: Discussion (4 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: I am guessing the situations where this would happen would be unique. I refer to someone not having the physical ability to self-administer the drug. These would be unique circumstances, but I am sure such a situation could be accommodated. I think this happens in New Zealand. If people there cannot physically self-administer the medication, then they are helped by a physician. Again,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Legal Protections and Sanctions: Discussion (4 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: I thank the witnesses for their engagement in what has been a great discussion. I refer to Mr. Kelly's opening statement.

Courts and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: From the Seanad (28 Jun 2023)

Gino Kenny: I will be brief. There is significant concern in respect of these two amendments. In light of the manner in which they were expedited, the Minster of State needs to reflect on the gravity of the amendments. This could have far-reaching consequences on free speech and how data are collected. I ask him to withdraw the amendments on the basis of democracy and respect for other Deputies.

Gino Kenny: I am sorry that I was late earlier on. I could not get out of a speaking engagement. I thank the witnesses for coming today. It is very welcome that we are having this discussion in the Joint Committee on Health. Many of us, particularly the men, would never have heard of endometriosis. I certainly had not. I could hardly pronounce the word a number of years ago but I developed a better...
