Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Apr 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: The home help service is vital to help elderly and vulnerable people to remain in their homes for as long as possible. Everyone will agree this is the most cost-effective way to care for the elderly. The Kerry and Cork budget for this vital service has been cut by €3 million, however. Some genius of an official did not include travel in the costing. The home help staff do not have...

Autism Support Services: Motion [Private Members] (2 Apr 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: First, I thank most sincerely the Sinn Féin Deputies for bringing this important matter before the House, I acknowledge World Autism Awareness Day, and I welcome each and every person who has come here this evening for this important debate. The issue of the waiting time for children to be assessed is one of the biggest problems that I find in the county that I am elected to...

Beef Sector: Motion (27 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Fianna Fáil for bringing forward this timely and important motion. I welcome all those in the Visitors Gallery. It shows the concern people around the country have. There is the same concern in County Kerry where there have been savage attendances at Beef Plan meetings. We thank the people involved for organising and attending the meetings. They are putting their shoulder to...

Beef Sector: Motion (27 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am appealing to the Minister. This is his time. The Government is letting the people down.

Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (27 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is obvious that Brexit is going to have serious consequences for all sectors of our community. We have all mentioned agriculture several times. Then there are small businesses and hauliers. Fishermen are also going to be affected. I am very disappointed that the Government, supported by Fianna Fáil, is rushing the Sea-Fisheries (Amendment) Bill through the Parliament in the coming...

Gnó Comhaltaí Príobháideacha - Private Members' Business - Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Motion (26 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: If we were to reduce our emissions to nil, this would only mean a 0.13% reduction in a worldwide context. That is a fact. All of the talk about increasing taxes will only further penalise people in rural Ireland. These are people who are trying to go to work in the morning but they cannot do so without their cars. It is fine to talk about electric cars but we do not have the means-----

Gnó Comhaltaí Príobháideacha - Private Members' Business - Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Motion (26 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will of course. I say again that the temperature has only risen 1% since 1850, however many years ago that was. Members can add it up themselves.

Gnó Comhaltaí Príobháideacha - Private Members' Business - Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Motion (26 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Obviously, I do not have to tell the House where I stand on the issue of climate change. I believe that the climate has changed since time began. What causes the change is where I differ from many others. As we know, since the Ice Age, there have been changes in our climate. The Oireachtas Joint Committee on Climate Action has been meeting for the past number of months but has been sitting...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Live Exports (26 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister for the efforts he is making. I am glad that the mart in Castleisland now has a job to export 1,500 bulls to Turkey. However, more live exports and more permits are needed for small beef processors to allow them to sell beef to China and other countries. It is amazing that five licences have been granted to the major meat processing companies, while 11 other permit...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Live Exports (26 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Why are cattle in the United Kingdom, including the North of Ireland, making €200 per head more than cattle in the South? There is uproar about the grading machines used in the factories. The sergeant for weights and measures is responsible for measures at petrol pumps and in public houses. Does the Department have any role to play in the calibration of grading machines used in the...

[14205/19]

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Live Exports (26 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Farmers are at a low ebb. They feel beaten and let down. All over the country, they are on their knees and are at the point of giving up. More live cattle exports are needed, as well as more markets for processed beef. As Deputy McConalogue has said, extra lairage is required in Cherbourg for dairy-bred calves. I do not care whether it is the Minister or Bord Bia that provides the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Safety on our roads is paramount. In Kerry, people are facing turmoil and tears with deer on the roads. The deer are entering towns and villages, and estates around Killarney, and they have taken the place over. Cars are having accidents and people have died. People's cars have been broken and young fellows are crying after paying dearly for insurance and getting their driver's licence....
