Investment in Football: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: That must be looked at and rectified.

Investment in Football: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to support this Labour Party motion. It is very important because we all know that sport is so important in developing youth and bringing communities together.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of the Sheep Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: Well, it is true. People are getting out altogether and people are reducing in number. Will that have an impact on driving up the price of lamb for the consumer?

So much has to be done to them, and the cost of dosing and vaccinations has increased by 30%....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Development of the Sheep Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: That is impacting on that. Some of them are saying that they will not even pay for the stuff. I thank Mr. Carroll for the answer. It is a concern that we need to remind the Government about, or ask them about when we are coming up to budget time. Could we write to them as a committee to ask? If we do not ask, we will not get. These people are asking me. We have quite a lot of sheep...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (12 Jul 2023)

They will build the house themselves and they will foot the bill, as dear as it is, but they are not getting the planning...

Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the chance to talk on this very important Bill. I am totally and absolutely against what is proposed. I do not think it is necessary in the first place. We do not have these kinds of demonstrations, that I know of, on my side of the country, in our county. In a lot of places we have practising GPs whom people go to daily. People cannot get to their GPs. How will these...
