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

Our country is at a crossroads when it comes to objectors. We have An Taisce. There are serial objectors throughout the country. People in places such as Mayo are objecting to developments in Kerry.

First, the Government must withdraw funding from An Taisce. Second, the people who are objecting in this fashion should be obliged to pay for their objections. These objectors have inflicted pain, misery and misfortune on poor people in Kerry who just want to build a home for themselves but who have been denied by such objectors.
