Respite Care Services: Motion [Private Members] (22 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I, too, thank the Independent Group for bringing this very important motion before us today. I hope the Government will assist in doing something about the position of carers. It is very important for carers to get some respite so they can keep the family member in the home for as long as possible. I know an old gentleman, and he is a gentleman, of 86 years of age who is trying to care for...

Insurance Reform: Statements (22 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity talk about this very important matter. The claim culture, awards by judges and no competition in the market certainly are combining to make insurance more costly than it should be. Our culture is being threatened and many festivals and events are being cancelled because they cannot afford the cost of insurance. Some horse hunts did not operate last winter...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: In Kerry, we are waiting for the upgrade of several treatment plants and towns and villages are waiting for new treatment plants. We cannot build houses. The building of houses is stymied. The Government needs to talk to and work together with Irish Water to ensure the treatment plants are brought up to standard so that we can build houses.

EirGrid, Electricity and Turf (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (28 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is very clear to me and many others in this Chamber and around the country that the Minister's Government is running scared. This is a Bill to try to ensure we do not have blackouts. The Government has paid €450 million for gas generators but where will it get the gas? It could get cornered with that because the Ministers do not want to listen to anybody. We have an...

Emergency Budget: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (28 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to speak. I thank Sinn Féin for this motion to give us the opportunity to talk about these very important matters. Everyone understands the rise in the cost of living is caused by the cost of fuel. The men and women on the road are suffering, whether it is driving a car or a lorry, and the farmers driving tractors and jeeps are all suffering because of...

Autism Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Labour Party for bringing forward this important Bill. We all know young couples for whom it is a very tough cross to bear when they find out their child has a problem. It certainly places strain on them because they want the best for their child or, in some cases, children. The situation is no different in Kerry. We have our share of families that include children with...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to raise the issue of the cost of fuel, which is impacting on everyone on the road, whether it is the man going to work in the car, the mother taking children to school or the man filling up his lorry to transport goods or filling a construction work vehicle. Kerry is far away from everywhere and is impacted more than many other places. The increase in the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister for his reply but he has not given much comfort to people who are struggling out there today. I accept and acknowledge what the Government has provided already but it is just not enough. The Minister must admit that the Exchequer has taken in a massive increase in taxation. In the past two weeks alone, fuel prices have increased by 20%. That is coming out of people's...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: Give them vouchers. Do something for them.

Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998: Motion (29 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: Thank you, Chair. I am very grateful. Regarding the Special Criminal Court, I would much prefer we had trial by jury but I will not be the one to compromise the Garda if it wants to bring to justice druglords and criminal gangs. If the only way to deal with them is the Special Criminal Court, so be it. They have to be dealt with because our towns and villages are ravaged by drugs. The...

Defence Forces: Motions (5 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I congratulate and thank our Defence Forces for the great peacekeeping work they have done over the years. They have served with distinction. They are recognised all over the world for the great work they have done and people thank them for that. I am in favour of our neutrality. Generations that came before us were in favour of our neutrality and we all want to thank Eamon de Valera, who...

Communications (Retention of Data) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (5 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will not take much time. We read that EU law precludes national legislative measures which provide, as a preventative measure, for the general and indiscriminate retention of traffic and location data relating to electronic communications to combat serious crime. What we are really talking about here is the Graham Dwyer case. He was convicted in this country with all the means, and I...

Back to School Costs: Motion [Private Members] (5 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Deputy Ó Laoghaire and Sinn Féin for bringing this important motion before us. It is very timely in light of the fact that the Dáil will be rising in a week's time and we will not be back before the children go back to school in September. We appreciate that the Government has made some announcements in recent hours, but we have to drive home to the Minister that...
