Danny Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

My colleague behind me, Deputy Michael Collins, is very lucky for the present because Berehaven, Ardgroom, Eyeries, Dursey Island, Allihies and Cahermore on the brink of the Atlantic Ocean were part of the Kerry constituency previously. We would have no bother in representing those people if they came back to us, and a lot of them are anxious to come back to us.

The constituency of Kerry is vast. We have three peninsulas, namely, Beara, Iveragh and the Dingle Peninsula. One could say we are nearly surrounded on three sides by water, as at the top of the constituency, along Tarbert and Ballybunion, the Shannon divides us from Clare. I have to say that Kerry is the best county in the country. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae and I are thankful to the people of Kerry because the constituency would not be much good without its people. We are very thankful to the people of Kerry for electing us to represent them, and we hope they will do the same in the next general election.

Without a shadow of doubt, back over the history pages, we have had the best footballers and we have had a lot of fine hurlers as well. Hostelries, restaurants and hotels provide accommodation for half the world when they come at times to places such as Killarney-----
