- Nursing Home Care: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)
Gino Kenny: I will be sharing time with Deputy Barry. I thank Sinn Féin for this very important motion on nursing home and elder care. There are obviously viability issues in the nursing home sector and if we had the same speeches 25 years ago, we would be talking about a different composition of nursing home care. At that time in Ireland, it was 80% owned by the public and 20% owned by the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Functions (27 Jun 2023)
Gino Kenny: Ireland's health budget runs to €20 billion per year. Ireland spends roughly the same on healthcare per capitaas Denmark and Austria but yet while Austria and Denmark are third and fourth on the CEOWorld Magazine's healthcare ranking index, Ireland is 80th.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Consent and Capacity: Discussion (27 Jun 2023)
Gino Kenny: Good morning to our witnesses. This probably gets to the heart of the issue of assisted dying. I am always taken by the three Cs of assisted dying, namely capacity, consent and a conversant mind that may choose to avail of assisted dying. They are at the heart of the issue. Putting adequate safeguards in place is equally important. My first question relates to coercion. Some people have...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Consent and Capacity: Discussion (27 Jun 2023)
Gino Kenny: Obviously, the person has to be trusted because trust in the person is sometimes at the heart of the debate. It has to be the person's decision; it cannot be anybody else's. The assisted decision-making legislation has been talked about for a long time. In the witnesses' opinion, has dealing with assisted-dying legislation become less or more complicated as a result of it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Consent and Capacity: Discussion (27 Jun 2023)
Gino Kenny: Today has been extremely informative. There was an opinion poll in the Business Postthis Sunday that indicated the overwhelming majority of respondents would support changing the legislation. All previous polls indicate the same. There is overwhelming support in Ireland not only for a debate on this issue but also for going beyond that to legislate. It is obviously up to us to make that...
