Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024)

Gino Kenny: ...is a scheme in Clondalkin, the Clonburris affordable dwelling purchase scheme. The average affordable home in that scheme costs €320,000. That is the average. The average industrial wage in Ireland is €50,000 per year so I do not know how these homes can be affordable to people who are on the average wage. It is impossible if you are on the average wage and, even if you...

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

Gino Kenny: I agree. Settler violence against Palestinians has intensified. This is a policy of the Israeli government to drive Palestinians from land and to use intimidation and violence against Palestinians. This is ongoing. However, there must be accountability. One of the schools mentioned by the Tánaiste, in a village called Khirbet Zanuta, was funded by Irish Aid and was completely...

Progress on the National Parks and Wildlife Service: Statements (6 Jul 2023)

Gino Kenny: ...Minister of State for quite a positive statement. There has been a new appreciation of nature and our country since the pandemic. Even prior to that, there was a new appreciation for our seas, land, rivers, streams, mountains, beautiful parks and surroundings and mountains, which is a very good thing. There are six national parks in Ireland, dotted across almost each corner of the...

Gino Kenny: ...rights campaigners that will be outside the AGM of a company (details supplied) in Ballsbridge on 28 April 2023 to highlight the appalling impact of the company's operations in Colombia on the land rights of the indigenous Misak people, on the environment and on human rights; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19869/23]

Organised Crime: Statements (20 Apr 2023)

Gino Kenny: ...and insidious in areas of our life. The proliferation of all drugs in the past five decades has exponentially increased, as has our prison population. What does that say about the laws of the land? We have to go back to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977, which reflected what had happened in Britain a few years previously, to see when a deterrent to the supply or use drugs was introduced....

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Middle East (22 Nov 2022)

Gino Kenny: ...on the recent United Nations committee decision to adopt a draft Palestinian resolution requesting an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on Israel's occupation of Palestinian land; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [57535/22]

National Maternity Services: Motion [Private Members] (17 May 2022)

Gino Kenny: ...in women's healthcare. It has been a sorry past. In the present, we have a two-tier system, private and public, which causes fault lines across society. People who live in certain parts of Ireland still cannot get access to abortion services. That is a fact. We do not know the future and that is why there is some ambiguity regarding the 300-year lease. What we do know is that...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Maternity Hospital (31 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: Is the Minister confident that will happen because this has been an ongoing saga for the past ten years? For the casual observer, it is extremely confusing in relation to the ownership of the land and the ethos of the building itself. I understand the building will be owned by the State but the board will still be run by a private holding, that is, the Religious Sisters of Charity. If that...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: National Maternity Hospital (31 Mar 2022)

Gino Kenny: ...the Minister for Health the way he plans to reconcile the requirements for full healthcare for women, including termination of pregnancy, in the new national maternity hospital if it is built on land owned by a Vatican-approved successor organisation to a Catholic religious congregation. [17012/22]

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Land Issues (8 Feb 2022)

Gino Kenny: .... At this moment, however, nothing has been done as regards the Collinstown site. Judging from the response to a parliamentary question, there is obviously an issue with the transfer of land from the Department of Education to the HSE. That may be the case, but the people who are being disadvantaged are those who live in the area. They need this healthcare centre as soon as...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Trade Relations (30 Sep 2021)

Gino Kenny: I do not think that the Minister gets it. He comes in here on a weekly basis and says that he is against the annexation of Palestinian lands but at the same time he treats Israel as a normal state. Would he have said the same about apartheid South Africa in the 1980s, for example? No, he would not. That is the contradiction that we as Deputies in the Opposition constantly point out to...

Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Housing Provision (28 Sep 2021)

Gino Kenny: 180. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the way in which he plans to reach the targets for council-built social housing in Housing for All when the sale of public land to private developers continues most recently with the sale of the council-owned site in Killinarden; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

An Bille um an Naoú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Ceart chun Tithíochta) 2020: An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution (Right to Housing) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Jun 2021)

Gino Kenny: ...Governments, he need only look at the recent media reports of vulture funds, cuckoo funds, financial institutions or whatever one wants to call them buying up tracts of housing. They come to Ireland for one purpose only, and that is to make profits at the expense of first-time buyers, renters and the citizens of this country who want to find a home. Mullen Park in Maynooth was just one...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: ..., murdered for doing nothing, murdered because they were Palestinian. The world is watching while the state of Israel conducts collective punishment against the Palestinian people on occupied lands. When is the right time to expel the Israeli ambassador to Ireland? If it is not now, when will it be? This has been going on for generations. The Israeli Government, with impunity, has...

Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Legislative Measures (11 May 2021)

Gino Kenny: 367. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if the upcoming Land Development Agency Bill 2021 will be revised at committee stage to prioritise traditional council housing and to ensure that the affordable housing is defined in relation to incomes and not in relation to market prices; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Middle East (11 Nov 2020)

Gino Kenny: ...we can draw from the systematic nature of these policies, especially in areas where illegal...settlements have already been constructed, is that they are aimed at forcing Palestinians off their land." It is quite an extraordinary statement by the Minister. The photo I am holding shows some of the evidence of the bulldozing last week of the Bedouin village, with 80 Palestinians being left...

Covid-19 (Foreign Affairs and Trade): Statements (3 Jun 2020)

Gino Kenny: ...the world, namely, Israel, we have a different tone to it. We criticise it, but there are no consequences for Israeli racism. The Israeli Government has said that in July it will annex a part of land it has already robbed, namely the Jordan Valley. The consequence of this could be the spread of serious disruption and violence across the Middle East. The Tánaiste can do something...

Housing Solutions: Statements (5 Dec 2019)

Gino Kenny: .... I find it hard to comprehend how this could be considered a mistake. The Taoiseach goes on about how it is not about ideology, but it is. Why would the Government want to sell public land to private developers when we have the greatest housing crisis in the history? Think about it. It does not make sense. If we have a crisis, one would think that we would build rental, affordable...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing for People with a Disability: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2019)

Gino Kenny: ...has special needs, those needs have to be met in the household. This does not come cheaply. Eleven or 12 years ago, the arrangement was based on where one was living in the county. The delegates may correct me if I am wrong. Land costs and skills costs were taken into account. Will the threshold be up for review in the coming period?

Youth Homelessness: Statements (18 Apr 2019)

Gino Kenny: I asked the Deputy two months ago if the Labour Party would sell public land in Clondalkin and she stated that it would not.
