Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Workforce Planning in the Mental Healthcare Sector: Discussion (20 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Deputy Durkan raised this issue as well. I am concerned about the kind of universal treatment received by people with mental health issues. They all seem to be given the same kind of antidepressant that slows down their movements, which is very upsetting for the parents of 16, 17, and 18 year olds. They immediately recognise that this is the same treatment given to people in their late 30s...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: On the programme for Government, this Government promised that it would assist people to remain in their homes for as long as possible through home help service provision. However, in Kerry, for a person to get home help another person must die. Why is it that Kerry has been without funding for the provision of home help services since last May? The wife of an elderly man of 92 years of...

Confidence in the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government: Motion [Private Members] (3 Dec 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I very much regret that the Minister blames the local authorities for failing to build houses. The fact is that the Minister and his Government have retained the four-stage process demanded by the Department. That is slowing down the building of social housing. How many times have we asked the Minister to bring forward the tenant purchase scheme to allow pensioners to buy out the house...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte Annual Report 2018: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Yes. First, I think we are supposed to disclose any interests, whether in the Chamber or here. For many years, off and on, I have worked for Coillte, as my father before me did.
