Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (1 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government made an announcement yesterday evening that nine-year-olds must wear masks in school all day, every day. This has serious repercussions for many mothers, parents and youngsters because many of them have asthma, Covid and respiratory conditions affecting them. The Minister for Education has said they must go to school unless they get a letter of exemption from their doctor,...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am, and I am a good friend of the people who ask me to do things for them and to raise things in here on their behalf. It is no good to me to see the Taoiseach smiling about this. The Government will do nothing about it, God damn it, man. The Government has not-----

Planning and Development (Amendment) (Large-scale Residential Development) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I appreciate what the Minister is trying to do here in Dublin with regard to housing. I appreciate the urgency and the number of people who are looking for housing. I know there is a very real problem and that his number one consideration is to deal with that and to get the numbers down. I raised an issue here in the Dáil with the Taoiseach a week or two ago. I was grateful for the...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I concur with Deputy Michael Collins in his point in relation to fishermen's incomes. Their situation is bad enough as it is. It cannot make their situation any worse. When one sees how expansive Ireland's shores are, we realise how far-reaching the Bill will be. The sea is all around us. One can barely think of what is involved because there is so much involved, especially with our...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am also concerned about wind turbines out in the bay and where they will be placed. If they are impacting on fishers and trawlers it would not be helpful. There are many other issues around where they are sited and of course planning will decide that. We are all for more energy and more renewable energy but it must be fair to the people who are depending on the sea for their income, in...

Health (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2021: Second Stage (2 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I do not see the other Deputy but he will probably arrive. I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach for this opportunity to speak. The first thing I wish to raise with the Minister is the issue of masks which have been ordered in for children in schools. Many parents are very hurt and concerned because even yesterday morning and this morning, many mothers have spoken to me to say that they...

Health (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2021: Second Stage (2 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: That is all right but this is very serious. The Government has not spoken to the GPs and I am being told that no one has given them direction. They are only hearing about these requests on the radio, the media, the television, or whatever and that is not fair to that profession. These are professional people doing a professional job and they are at the pin of their collar to look after...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity today to raise this and ask the Tánaiste for increased funding to deal with local improvement scheme applications in Kerry next year. It is only just around the corner. Some 678 schemes are on the list and were applied for in 2018. More than 90 of them are on a list since 2007 and were included in the 2018 scheme. These are public roads which were...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Tánaiste. In the past, we did 111 roads in two consecutive years. Kerry County Council has the capacity to deal with any funding that is left over and all the Deputies from Kerry will work together. I have raised this matter several times. If we only get 19 roads done every year, it will take us 35 or 36 years to get through the 678 roads left on the list. There are...
