Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (12 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: While we are talking about rural Ireland and about Kerry, where I come from, I will say what I said one of the first times I spoke in the House. I firmly believe that we will not get fair play in Kerry until the Red Cow is moved out to Bull Rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I believe we will not get fair play until that time. The Minister has departed but the Minister of State,...

Waste Reduction Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The amount of waste and rubbish, especially bottles, seems to be multiplying all the time. In different times, there was a charge on bottles. In pubs or anywhere else, when someone took a bottle away and then brought it back, one got back whatever they had been charged for it. Publicans were sub-charged for bottles and if they did not return them, they had to pay the bill which was very...

Leaders' Questions (6 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: I refer to the former St. Finan's Hospital in Killarney, a well built stone building which stands on 30 acres of land on the northside of the town which border both sides of the bypass. It is a listed building, for which plans for its future use need to be formulated. We are all aware of what happened this week to a similar building, the former Our Lady's Hospital in Shanakiel. Much of it...

Leaders' Questions (6 Jul 2017)

Leaders' Questions (6 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister, Deputy Richard Bruton, mentioned that there had been a trawl of properties owned by the State. Why then is the Government not already aware of this property?

Quarterly Report on Housing: Statements (6 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: There are a number of small things that could be done to help sort out much of the homelessness problem. Some genius decided that bedsits could not be used anymore, while fortunes are being paid to hotels to house people and people are still lying on the ground close to the hotel where I stay for two or three days every week. I am sure they would be much happier in a bedsit. I am not...

Rugby World Cup 2023 Bill 2017: Second Stage (5 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: I also wish to support this Bill. I wish the Minister and the Irish Rugby Football Union, IRFU, the very best in their bid to host the Rugby World Cup in 2023. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the venues and the country all around the world, and the advertising of Ireland in this way will pay for the costs incurred and the staging of the event. It has been indicated that...
