Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Needs of Persons with Dementia and the Services Available: Discussion (7 Feb 2024)

Gino Kenny: Dr. O'Philbin mentioned reminiscence therapy earlier. I am fascinated by this. I was looking it up to see what it actually is. I remember when I worked in Cherry Orchard a long time ago - and it was an education - it was only beginning to happen about 20 years ago that music, old photographs and things like that were being introduced. I thought it was really good because the residents at...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Health Needs of Persons with Dementia and the Services Available: Discussion (7 Feb 2024)

Gino Kenny: This is a very important session for the committee and we all have an interest in this subject. I do not think that there are many people who have not been affected by dementia in the form of a family member suffering from it, and I include myself in that. The figures are quite stark. In the next 20 years, the number of people living with dementia will have more than doubled. Obviously...

Misuse of Drugs (Cannabis Regulation) Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (31 Jan 2024)

Gino Kenny: I thank colleagues for their contributions. This discussion has been a little more progressive than the debate in the House 11 years ago on a similar proposal. I completely disagree with some of the views expressed. An argument that has always really annoyed me is that cannabis is a gateway to harder drugs. That is absolute rubbish. When people talk about harder drugs, they are referring...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (25 Jan 2024)

Gino Kenny: My question concerns the ongoing situation in the West Bank. As we have witnessed, it is not just since October 2023 that there has been an upscaling of oppression in the West Bank so I would like to hear the Tánaiste's comments on what is happening.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (25 Jan 2024)

Gino Kenny: That is welcome. There seems to be intensification of the oppression in the West Bank. Of the 358 people who have been murdered by Israelis, 100 were children. What have they done to the Israeli state? Some of the footage is unbelievable - children on streets just being shot dead. It is arbitrary. It is not just a policy of arbitrary detention, arbitrary killing and arbitrary...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (25 Jan 2024)

Gino Kenny: I agree. Settler violence against Palestinians has intensified.

One of the schools mentioned by the Tánaiste, in a village called Khirbet Zanuta, was funded by Irish Aid and was completely...
