- Joint Committee On Health: Mental Health Commission Interim Report on CAMHS: HSE (14 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: Regarding the commission's report and alluding back to the original tenet of their report about underfunding and understaffing, there is understaffing, there are governance issues and clinical issues of oversight where it does not happen. What is the HSE's commentary on the commission's assessment that the cause, in its words, was that CAMHS was deeply underfunded and understaffed in respect...
- Joint Committee On Health: Mental Health Commission Interim Report on CAMHS: HSE (14 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: That is very welcome. My final question is on overprescribing, which is part of the report. It points out that some children are on antipsychotic medicine for years, without clinical oversight. The report states that there was a failure to provide alternative therapies with regard to overprescribing. It is deeply troubling that some children could be on medications such as antipsychotic...
- Nursing Home Charges and Disability Allowance Payments: Statements (9 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: I want to set out that this is no doubt quite a complicated issue, spans four or five decades and is somewhat opaque as to the interpretation of the care that should be given to our citizens. In this case we are talking about long-stay nursing home care. The central tenet to the critique the Attorney General has set out, and I and others would argue this point, is that those who had an...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: I thank the witnesses for their statements. Long Covid is an important issue in respect of the health service. The statements make for sombre and depressing reading. It is incredible that there have been almost 6,000 assaults against nursing and midwifery staff in less than two years. That is unbelievable. I do not know what is happening to society if we are sanitising this level of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: Has the pandemic, which now spans two years, compounded some of the issues that have manifested, in particular in emergency departments?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: As I said, the statement makes for sombre reading. People have to go to work and be subjected that behaviour.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Welfare and Safety of Workers and Patients in Public Health Service: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: Unions have said that due to staffing levels in particular areas, the environment is almost dangerous and is not conducive to a healthy environment for staff. If this is the case, it will trickle down to those people awaiting intervention in emergency departments. This situation is quite insidious. My final question, which is on whistleblowers in the health service, is for all the union...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (2 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: 11. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence if he has had engagement with his counterparts in the European Union; if he will report on those engagements; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5168/23]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (2 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: One of the Tánaiste's last engagements as Taoiseach was on 15 December in relation to the EU Council. Can he report back to the House on his engagement with his counterparts in relation to the common European defence?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (2 Feb 2023)
Gino Kenny: I am glad the Tánaiste touched on the issue around EU battle groups. Does he not think that Ireland's participation in these groups undermines Ireland's neutrality? That is a very straight question.
