- Leaders' Questions (29 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is clear the Taoiseach has no understanding of what I am talking about. At last Monday's meeting, Councillor Johnny Healy-Rae got a reply that the local authority must clearly demonstrate that the proposed demountable unit is required on foot of a genuine emergency - either a fire or a flood. I must point out to the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government that there are many...

- Leaders' Questions (29 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: Demountable homes have been vital where an old house fell into disrepair or became uninhabitable for those aged 50 and 60 and above and who, in no circumstance, would or could leave their own place. They want to stay in the places they were born and reared. All these people would provide a site for a demountable home. Councillor Johnny Healy-Rae said at last Monday's meeting of Kerry...
- Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: When we look at the directions given for the appointment of this commission, the first one is board management. That has been dealt with. It refers to "his or her having such experience, qualifications, training or expertise as is appropriate having regard to the functions of the Commission". How many years of experience is required? Is it open-ended? Is it one, two, five or 20 years?...
- Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: What training is required? Will they have had to have done one round of the field, five rounds of the field or 20 rounds of the field? What training is the Minister talking about? It is not spelt out anywhere here. It is not listed anywhere. What expertise is being referred to?
- Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2018)

- Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am sorry but these things are very serious and it is just open-ended. It is a laugh. I ask the Minister again to withdraw the Bill at this late stage and go back to the drawing board. Like the man on the television the other night, go back to school again.

- Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to talk about this serious matter. The way things are going, we should not be talking at all. This Bill is about appointing people with knowledge to select judges, on whom we rely to mete out justice and give people a fair and balanced hearing. The Judicial Appointments Advisory Board comprises the Chief Justice, who is the chairman, the President of the...
- Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: Yes, but this is about changing the system we have and purporting that what is being brought forward is better than it. The person appointed is supposed to have knowledge or experience of the operation of the courts. Who could have more knowledge than a judge or solicitor? Section 12 refers to the provision of supports to persons who are victims of crime or to users of the services...
