- Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Feb 2018)
Michael Healy-Rae: Can I continue? I have five minutes and that is it. I will not overrun my time. I am trying to get at how the world has to evolve. I have listened to Deputy Eamon Ryan and the way the world has evolved but there are certain things about which I continue to be firm and fast. I am aware, for instance, that there are other people who want to see a world and an Ireland where there is no such...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement with Mr. Michael Russell, MSP, Minister for UK Negotiations on Scotland's Place in Europe (7 Feb 2018)
Michael Healy-Rae: He did and he was very welcome there. One thing that struck me about the minister was his long experience in politics, his lifetime of dedication to public service, the fact that he represents a primarily rural area, including many islands. I found him fascinating to speak to. The only problem I had was that I did not get to speak to him for long enough which is why I knew that members of...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Feb 2018)
Michael Healy-Rae: On the same issue, I spoke to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine about these eight farmers. It is absolutely outrageous.

It came into their land and burned their land, and now their payments are stopped. It is outrageous.
