Confidence in the Minister for Justice: Motion (5 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: These thugs and blackguards do not deserve the name of any political category, such as calling them "far right" or "right". They are thugs, blackguards, thieves and robbers.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: The political point is that if we do not sell food from Ireland people will get it elsewhere. It is very clear to me that neither the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin or Charlie McConalogue put up any real fight to stop this. Consumers will have to get food.

Danny Healy-Rae: The nitrates derogation reduction becomes a reality from 31 December, changing from 250 kg N/ha to 220 kg N/ha. This means we will have to slaughter 40,000 heavily-in-calf cows this coming year because there is no other market for them, and 160,000 in the next four years.
