Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 May 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: I want to raise the very important issue of our excellent home care support assistants, HCSAs, not least in County Kerry where they do great work taking care of people in their own homes. At the moment, a new system is being set up online to book holidays, do the travel allowance, the wages and all of that.

Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (10 May 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: I want to tackle this issue. In speaking to the amendment, I want to come at it this way. Some of the retailers have been talking about this phoney price war with the reduction in the prices of milk and butter. I call it a phoney war because all it is a way of putting their names out there and giving the impression they are giving a better deal to the consumer. We all want to see mom's...

Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (10 May 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: I support Deputy McNamara's amendment. Like the previous one, it is about protecting farmers. Thinking back to a couple of short weeks ago, the Taoiseach, thankfully - I asked him to do so the day before - met with Macra na Feirme, whose members marched to Leinster House. It was reminiscent of the time, 50 or 60 years ago, that IFA members marched from all parts of this country to Dublin....

At critical times and critical lines, of course the Irish language should be used at every opportunity and promoted. I am reminded, and please allow me this one indulgence, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle-----

Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (10 May 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: We must never look behind. We always have to look forward. I want to remind you, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, of a time when a Minister decided he wanted to change the name of the great town of Dingle in County Kerry.

Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (10 May 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: Yes. My good God, talk about starting world war three. The good people of Dingle in County Kerry fought a hard battle. I remember that my late father, God be good to him, led the charge in favour of getting their name back. Yes, we want the Minister to do this here this evening, but we always have to be mindful that we will use the language where it is correct and proper and we want to do...

Michael Healy-Rae: I commend an excellent report in the Business Postby Lorcan Allen, Daniel Murray, Killian Woods and Catherine Sanz on energy, housing, water and planning and how Ireland is on the brink with regard to those basic essentials we need.
