Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin. It is because of it that we are debating this important subject. One of the major issues preoccupying every politician who is worth his or her salt in any way is the housing situation. In County Kerry, which I represent, there are problems with housing every day. Young couples are looking for housing, and not just local authority housing. People are simply trying...

Topical Issue Debate: Disease Incidence (27 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: I welcome the people who came from around the country today to protest at the Dáil. They had a presentation in the AV room, which was excellent.

The one point I want to raise is the lack of early diagnosis. People have to...

Flooding in County Donegal: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: We will be very grateful for it when the Minister of State gives it to us. This is what we need in Government. We need some ordinary people who are down to earth and who feel the passion of what happens on the ground.
