Loan Guarantee Schemes Arrangements (Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland) Bill 2021: Second Stage (12 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to speak on this important Government Bill. It is important at this time as the country begins to open up for many operators that have been severely hit, including SMEs, tour operators in Kerry, hoteliers, restaurateurs and publicans. I have to pass a yard in Killarney when taking the Killarney bypass every day where over 90 buses have been parked without moving for almost a year...

Planning and Development, Heritage and Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have an opportunity to contribute on behalf of farmers and landowners throughout County Kerry on this very important issue. We have been hurt by designations before and no proper compensation was given to farmers. I have said previously in Dáil Éireann that it is a terrible thing when a farmer's house is broken into, perhaps when he or she is at mass, and money and...

Planning and Development, Heritage and Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will be very brief in concluding. I am asking the Minister of State not to ram designations down farmers' throats, nor do this behind their backs. I am asking that he give the people of Kerry and Ireland the chance to make submissions if maps are being produced and more land is going to be designated as SACs or whatever designation is being put on them. I am asking that people be advised...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I raise with the Taoiseach the issue of the building of a sewerage scheme in Kilcummin, east Kerry, north of and bounding Killarney. The people in Kilcummin have been trying to progress this scheme since 2000. Work was to begin around 2006 or 2007 but the contractor was found not to be able to deliver. Thus, Kerry County Council decided to tender it out again and a new form of tender was...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government will have to fund Irish Water properly to develop these schemes because it is a case of live horse and you will get grass. It will not work. Leaving out the roads of Clashnagarrane, Knockataggle and Rahanane, which the village is actually built in, is absolutely ridiculous. The Taoiseach mentioned the Minister, Deputy Foley. I am saying to her that the five Deputies from...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: God damn it, Taoiseach, you are going on for 21 years and the people of Kilcummin are honest, hard-working people and they deserve the scheme.

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for allowing us this time to debate this very important motion. I have nothing personal to say to anyone, but there is a hames being made of the building of houses. The Government is paying a regulator to dezone land in Kerry. It is paying a regulator to block one-off houses for people who would build the houses themselves if they could get the planning permission....

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Driver Test (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: 255. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the current process of rescheduling theory tests will be reviewed (details supplied); the way he plans for the backlog to be dealt with; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25865/21]

Water and Wastewater Treatment Services: Motion [Private Members] (19 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: There is no smelly water running down the streets of Cahersiveen.

Water and Wastewater Treatment Services: Motion [Private Members] (19 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Regional Group and Deputy Naughten for giving us the opportunity to speak about this very important matter. At the outset I will contradict a comment made by Deputy Bríd Smith to the effect that smelly water is running down the streets of Cahersiveen. She can look after her constituency and I will look after the people of Cahersiveen. Irish Water is only obliged to keep...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (19 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: The people of east Kerry, Rathmore and Gneevgullia are being asked to go up to Limerick for the jab, which is a two-hour drive. It is the same as if the people of Cashel, Wexford or Cavan and Sligo were told to come up here to Dublin for the vaccine. I appeal to the Government to allow the people of east Kerry, Rathmore and Gneevgullia to go back to Killarney, a 20-minute drive, for their...

Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, for bringing us to where we are today. At least we will have a cap of three years on the family farm, as there is on all residential properties. I am still not happy with this because I believe the land should not be assessed. It should be the family home, the same as everybody else. Why treat farmers, publicans and shopkeepers differently...

Financial Resolution 2021 - Financial Resolution: Stamp Duties (19 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I have heard so much about the cuckoo here. It is a grand thing to hear the cuckoo under Mangerton Mountain or around the Roughty River. It was very wrong to give these funds that name. It is such a lovely bird that comes to our shores every year. It is grand to be listening to the ding-dong about housing that has been going on here over the last four or five years. It is clear that the...

Financial Resolution 2021 - Financial Resolution: Stamp Duties (19 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: There are other levies and regulations. Steel is up by 50%. I ask the Government to bring back the tenant purchase scheme. Many people would buy out their house and give back the funds so that they could build another house.
