Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (17 Dec 2022)

I thank them, and we are standing in solidarity with the Defence Forces. Today it is only right and proper that we also think of other people, like our own members of An Garda Síochána, who put themselves in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Strategic Vision: Coillte (13 Dec 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: I welcome the witnesses. Jerry Donegan, God be good to him, was our local forester when I was growing up. He would be in a Hillman Hunter on a Friday in the middle of the day when I used to break out of school. He was my next-door neighbour. I used to sit into the passenger seat with a biscuit tin box full of brown envelopes. His job on that day would be to go around, paying the men. I...

Capacity in the Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jan 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: The main problem we have in County Kerry starts out in the community, that is, people being able to access a local GP. Whether it is in Waterford or south, east, mid-, north or west Kerry, getting access to the local GP is the problem. Trying to make it attractive for GPs to live in our communities as they did before and provide a local service is the biggest problem we have. We should...

Capacity in the Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jan 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: How have we gone so wrong that healthcare is available to animals quicker than it is to people? The Ministers are the Ministers for Health.
