Domestic Water Charges: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (25 May 2016)

Séamus Healy: First, I am delighted to support this motion. It is a subject on which Members have been campaigning for a number of years and the Right2Water campaign and the Right2Change movement have created the biggest change ever in this Chamber as a result of the last general election. The issue relating to water and water charges was a lightning rod for austerity of all kinds. It was the straw that...

Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion (Resumed) (25 May 2016)

Séamus Healy: The final point I wish to make is that after 42 years, three all-party Dáil motions and the Barron and McEntee reports, the British Government still refuses to make files and papers available. It has also refused to allow an independent international judicial figure to consider the files. At this stage, the families are entitled to know the truth and have answers and justice. The...

Dublin and Monaghan Bombings: Motion (25 May 2016)

Séamus Healy: I welcome Justice for the Forgotten and representatives of bereaved families to the Gallery and thank them for keeping this issue to the fore and being so tenacious in raising it over recent years. As other speakers have said, it is now 42 years since the horrendous bombings of Dublin and Monaghan in which 34 people died and 300 were injured. There were three bombs in Dublin and one in...

Adjournment Debate: Job Retention (19 May 2016)

Séamus Healy: The staff at Suir Pharma in Clonmel were treated appallingly by this company. I met some of them at lunchtime on Tuesday and they were shocked at the difficulties which had arisen and the fact that the company had gone to the High Court at 11 o'clock that morning, appointed a provisional liquidator and had that person on the site with his security people before lunchtime. Many of the...

Report of Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform: Motion (Resumed) (19 May 2016)

Séamus Healy: I thank Deputy Pringle for sharing time with me. This Dáil reform document is effectively a product of the changed landscape resulting from the general election and particularly of what I would call the "people power" we witnessed over recent years, primarily the Right2Water protests that have taken place. The protests have changed the landscape of politics. In mentioning that, it...

Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government: Motion (6 May 2016)

Séamus Healy: From what we have seen of it, the programme for Government makes it quite clear that what we have here is more of the same - more of what has gone on for the last eight or nine years. It was started by the Fianna Fáil-Green Government and continued by the Fine Gael-Labour Government, which was effectively the same. The document itself is vague, aspirational and uncosted. It is quite...

Nomination of Taoiseach (Resumed) (6 May 2016)

Séamus Healy: I am sharing time with Deputy Catherine Connolly. This Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and possibly Independent programme for Government is framed in the context of and is based on "our commitment to meeting in full the domestic and EU Fiscal rules".

Nomination of Taoiseach (Resumed) (6 May 2016)

Séamus Healy: I will say that again. This programme is based, as it says in the document, "on our commitment to meeting in full the domestic and EU Fiscal rules". The programme for Government is, therefore, based on the fiscal treaty, which totally concedes Irish sovereignty over vital national affairs and flies in the face of the 1916 Proclamation in its centenary year. This programme for Government...

Irish Water: Statements (27 Apr 2016)

Séamus Healy: I stood in the recent general election as a Right2Water and Right2Change candidate and have been involved in the movement since the initial stages. I congratulate all water campaigners around the country who in the past two and a half or three years stood up to be counted. Hundreds of thousands of people went out onto the streets. Community campaigners, anti-metering protestors and those...

Sadly, successive Governments, in...

Mental Health Services: Statements (26 Apr 2016)

Séamus Healy: The policy, A Vision for Change, published in 2006, was an excellent roadmap for the development of mental health services throughout the country. It set out a whole community response and it rebalanced the service from what was primarily an inpatient service to a community-based service. It detailed a well-funded, well-resourced and appropriately staffed service and there was and continues...

Business of Dáil (26 Apr 2016)

Séamus Healy: There is a motion on the Order Paper signed by 39 Deputies regarding domestic water charges. Deputy Martin spoke about Deputy Moynihan's choreographic abilities or otherwise.
