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

If we talk to anyone in Kerry today about football, they are all happy about that. They thank the great Kerry team for that. However, if we talk to them about health and the regional hospital, they will not thank the Government for that. If we talk to them about the cost of fuel, diesel and petrol, they will not thank the Government for the extra tax it is taking from them for that without giving back hardly anything. If we talk to the people about turf, they will not thank the Government for what it is trying to do to stop them and ensure that they will be cold for the winter. They will not thank the Government for that because they are very hurt about it. If we are talking about waiting for housing in Kerry, young people who are on the list cannot even build their own homes and they will not thank the Government for that. They certainly will not thank the Government for the cost of living.
