Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (2 Feb 2023)

Gino Kenny: I refer to the EU battle groups which the Tánaiste has mentioned. Does this not erode Ireland's neutrality which has been a policy for decades? It has given huge credence to Ireland's international standing not to take part in any military exercise that is seen as, not defensive, but offensive. I read by this that any participation by Ireland in these groups in a breach of neutrality.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (2 Feb 2023)

Gino Kenny: I disagree with the Tánaiste. This is a flagrant breach of Ireland's neutrality. If you look at Ireland's participation even in the Nordic battle groups, the evolution can be seen and how Ireland is being pulled into more of a European defence army. Even on the commentary in the House in relation to eroding Ireland's triple lock status, the former Minister for Defence, Deputy Coveney,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)

Gino Kenny: Yes. Good morning and happy St. Brigid's Day. This is the first day of the Irish spring and a very positive day of the year. My first question relates to people who have a terminal cancer diagnosis and present themselves in emergency departments. What is international practice when someone with a terminal cancer diagnosis presents in an emergency department with their condition...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Cancer Treatment Services: Discussion (1 Feb 2023)

Gino Kenny: In alluding to the National Cancer Registry Ireland report published about inequalities in cancer care, Ms Power, by and large, answered my next question. As long as we have inequality in our health system, we will continue to have inequalities, particularly in diagnostic care. If people have access to better healthcare because of their financial circumstances, they will be diagnosed...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members]: Ukraine War (31 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: Looking at the past year and the evolution of this conflict, who knows where it will end. With continued escalation and more heavy weaponry, such as the tanks provided by the western alliance, someone somewhere will have to ask where we are going with this conflict. Is it escalation or de-escalation? All wars end but this war has the potential to escalate into a war that could go beyond...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members]: Ukraine War (31 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: I wish the Tánaiste well in his new role. In his role as Minister for Foreign Affairs in a neutral country, what does he intend to do to send the message of neutrality, especially regarding the conflict in Ukraine? As most people have seen, this is a brutal war carried out by a brutal regime.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members]: Ukraine War (31 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: I will not mince my words. I do not believe that anyone minces their words in this Chamber. Putin is a war criminal. The crimes he has committed in the past year against the Ukrainian people are tantamount to war crimes; they are akin to what Nazi Germany did to most of Europe and Russia. He has caused untold suffering to the Ukrainian people. The resistance by the Ukrainian people has...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (31 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: We spoke about this issue on Thursday when there was an in-depth debate about the present situation in CAMHS. I said on Thursday and I will say again that the lack of clinical oversight was the main critique of the interim report by the Mental Health Commission. Without oversight, there will be serious issues in regard to everything relating to a service such as CAMHS. I acknowledge the...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Citizens' Assembly (31 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: 2. To ask the Taoiseach the proposed running order of the citizens' assemblies. [3413/23]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Citizens' Assembly (31 Jan 2023)

Gino Kenny: My question is the same. The programme for Government stated that there would be a citizens' assembly in relation to drug use and the broader question of decriminalisation. We have waited and waited, but as of yet there has not been a date, which is disappointing. This issue has gone on for decades and the status quois completely unacceptable. It is unacceptable on the basis that as long...
