Disability and Special Needs Provision: Motion [Private Members] (19 Sep 2024)

Gino Kenny: We have had this debate continuously during my time in the House, and I have been a Deputy for eight and a half years. Unfortunately, we will continue to have this debate until the issue is resolved. It has not been resolved by any means. The brutal truth is that more than 120 children had no school place in September. A state providing a child with a school place seems elementary. I...

Gino Kenny: I agree. The HSE and all the allied bodies reacted very quickly in terms of this substance that is out in the open and so forth. A lot of people have to be congratulated on that. I would like to speak about the proliferation of all drugs which evolve. For example, with cannabis at the moment there is a big issue with HHC. It is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid and there are a lot of...

Committee on Drugs Use: Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Sep 2024)

Gino Kenny: It is probably a debate for another day. Prescribed drugs are prescribed by a doctor or pharmacist.

Mental Health Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Sep 2024)

Gino Kenny: I welcome this Bill. It was a long time coming. It is about two and a half years since it was before the Sub-Committee on Mental Health and I do not know why it has taken that long to come to this juncture, but I am sure the Minister of State has her reasons. It was 23 years ago that we last had a comprehensive review of mental health care. The Bill was probably cutting-edge, to a certain...
