Topical Issue Debate: Services for People with Disabilities (19 Oct 2016)

Gino Kenny: I will be brief. I hope the Minister of State will be able to answer my questions about the assessment of needs for children with disabilities in the Dublin Mid-West constituency. This is a crisis of our time, in some ways. The position in my locality is mirrored across the State, where there are huge waiting times for children to be assessed. Given that early intervention is of key...

Topical Issue Debate: Services for People with Disabilities (19 Oct 2016)

Gino Kenny: I think we have a problem because waiting times are so long that they contravene the Disability Act 2005. Essentially, this means children are waiting for services for more than six months. The State is breaking its own law. This has serious implications for the State and for the children who are not being seen. There is a possibility that families will bring the State to court because...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Labour Activation Measures: Department of Social Protection (20 Oct 2016)

Gino Kenny: I thank Mr. McKeon. I have a few questions for him and I will probably set out my stall relatively quickly. I have a problem with the idea that people have to work for social welfare and from an ideological perspective, that is wrong. With JobBridge and labour activation measures, there has been job displacement and exploitation from the start. JobBridge has been controversial from the...

Gino Kenny: Will I ask the question?

Other Questions: Syrian Conflict (25 Oct 2016)

Gino Kenny: Okay. I think the Minister has already answered most of my question. I will cut to the chase. The Egyptian authorities are playing mind games. They have gotten into the heads of the Minister, the Taoiseach and, most importantly, Ibrahim. An e-mail from his sister outlining his well-being is quite shocking. He is depressed, which of course he would be. He has refused any visits from...
