Special Needs Education Places: Motion [Private Members] (25 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: First, I thank Deputy Thomas Byrne and Fianna Fáil for giving us the opportunity to talk about this motion this evening, as many parents have children affected by autism or intellectual disabilities. For many parents, it is traumatic to find out about these needs for the first time. From that point on, they want to do the best they can for those children. We need to assist them in any...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I concur with the Deputies who spoke previously. I know of several people who are waiting for home help. One lady tried to come home but could not manage on her own and went back into hospital, which added to the hospital's waiting list. I ask the Minister to do something about it or to ask the Minister for Health to do something about it. He is doing things he was not asked to do such as...

Agrifood and Rural Development: Motion (24 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Has the clock been stopped?

Agrifood and Rural Development: Motion (24 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: The clock should be stopped.

Agrifood and Rural Development: Motion (24 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I ask that the clock be wound back. I am glad to have the opportunity to speak on the farming situation, particularly in rural areas such as those in County Kerry. As my colleagues and I understand it, rural Ireland depends on suckler farmers and hillside sheep farmers. In recent times, particularly the past two or three years, things have been getting worse for suckler farmers to the...

Housing (Regulation of Approved Housing Bodies) Bill 2019: Second Stage (24 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to contribute on this important topic. I, too, am unhappy with the appointment of another regulator and another group of people who will be appointed by the Minister of the day. There is enough officialdom as it is if those people woke up and gave funding to local authorities to build the houses. What difference will it make to have another regulator...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: The budget is just around the corner and I want the Minister to know that the cost of fuel has gone up because of the trouble in Iran. Despite that, it is almost certain that he is going to increase the carbon tax. Does the Minister have any comprehension of how it will affect people in rural Ireland? I refer to people living in remote areas who need their car. It will already cost them...

Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Statements (18 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to contribute because this matter concerns and worries so many people all around County Kerry and the country. Whatever way England leaves, if it does indeed eventually leave, Ireland will not be as good a place to trade or to live because things will never be as good again as they have been under the regime that we have had for many years. There is already...

Agriculture: Motion [Private Members] (18 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Deputy Eamon Ryan for sharing time and Fianna Fáil for bringing this motion forward, which I am supporting. The Ministers did not listen to us in the spring when we were highlighting the plight of the farmers and I do not know if they really care. I am very disappointed with the Tánaiste, who was only 20 minutes away from the gates in Bandon but he never arrived to listen...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: One of the things on which I insisted was that the local improvement scheme be included in the programme for Government. I appreciate that it was but, although there were 800 applications submitted before April 2018, funding has been received for only 26 to date. At that rate, it will take 30 to 33 years.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Lusitania Museum and Related Matters: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome each and every one of our guests. I listened to the debate on the monitor in my office and I know they have a very interesting story. I want to thank Deputy Michael Collins, the Vice Chairman, for ensuring that they were brought before us. I know the Deputy did a lot of work on their behalf, which was only fitting. I claim a small connection to the Lusitaniabecause the headmaster...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Lusitania Museum and Related Matters: Discussion (18 Sep 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Again, this organisation has done mighty work and we appreciate it very much. Any help we can give at any time, we will give it. I am always available to those involved. They can ring me at any time. This is vital. It is an added attraction for the Wild Atlantic Way which will benefit all of the south of Ireland, as well as the south east. Those involved are entitled reap the rewards...
