Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (14 Jun 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: Farmers are being over-regulated. What will the MOT testing of tractors and the doing of away of splash plates on slurry tanks cost farmers? What about not being allowed to spread slurry at certain times of the year, even when the weather is fine? In Northern Ireland farmers can spread slurry the very same day above the ditch. The new drink driving rules, if introduced by the Minister,...

Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (14 Jun 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Taoiseach is starting off on the wrong foot by acceding to the request made by Deputy Micheál Martin to curtail speaking time for smaller groups and Independents, denying us the right to speak in this Chamber on behalf of the people whom we have been elected to represent. It has become clear to me over time that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil would like to get rid of all of the...

Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (14 Jun 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: I wish the new Taoiseach, his Ministers and the Government as a whole all the best during their time in office. We do not know how long that will be but we hope everything goes well because people depend on them. The health system is a shambles and in need of a serious overhaul. The HSE does not seem to be accountable or providing value for money. As highlighted in the media a few days...

Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (14 Jun 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: Kenmare and Dingle community hospitals are only half open. Deer Lodge, a 40-bed mental health facility on St. Margaret's Road, was completed two years ago. Why have its doors not opened yet? I ask the Minister for Health to demand from the HSE that the facility be opened forthwith. It was completed two years ago and it is not fair to people with mental health problems that they are not...

Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (14 Jun 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: More money is needed before it can be built. Most of rural County Kerry does not have broadband coverage and some areas do not have telephone coverage. If an industrialist flies into Farranfore Airport and drives for one mile on any of the three roads leading from the facility, he will find there is no telephone coverage. That is very unfair. I note that the Minister of State,...

Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (14 Jun 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: Dublin is gaining jobs at the expense of rural areas. While we do not begrudge jobs to people in Dublin, the capital and the east of the country are prospering and the Government is not doing enough to rectify the imbalance.

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to speak here today to raise the unfairness in the fair deal scheme as it is currently being applied to family farms and small family businesses where the owners live in or above the small shop, post office, pub or other similar scenario.

Danny Healy-Rae: I wish the Taoiseach and his wife and family all the best for the future. We will still look forward to seeing him around Rathanane, Kilcummin and Killarney.

A group of people protested outside the...
