Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise with the Tánaiste the failure of the HSE to provide home help for elderly people to stay in their homes. I have raised this several times already this year. People are being approved but still there is no home help arriving. It is a natural desire for elderly people to want to stay in their homes. Elderly people in places such as Killarney, Rathmore, Headfort,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Discussion (14 Sep 2022)
Danny Healy-Rae: First, I thank the delegation from AIB. While I thank them for reversing their decision, I do not thank them for thinking of it because it would have stripped bank branches, such as those in Kenmare, Cahersiveen, Dingle, Castleisland and Killorglin of cash. It was a ridiculous idea and it frightened the living daylights out of ordinary, country people in those glens and valleys around...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Discussion (14 Sep 2022)
Danny Healy-Rae: That is central. The other thing is the bank made a lot of hay about its partnership with the post office. I do not know what arrangements were made with the post office but in my county, post offices have closed in recent weeks. The post office in Headford has closed. I see no extra staff hired or looked for in branches like Kilgarvan, Kenmare or Sneem. One person operates those post...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Discussion (14 Sep 2022)
Danny Healy-Rae: I will finish up. Post offices are busy as it is but I do not envisage them taking on the cash load that would fall to them if those banks I mentioned in Kerry closed. I see something wrong with the idea that An Post could manage of all that. In relation to the answer Dr. Hunt gave about what the Government knew, he stated an agreement was put in place in 2011 as to how the bank would tell...

- National Retrofit Plan: Motion [Private Members] (20 Sep 2022)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk on this important matter. It has been the Government's mantra that the carbon tax it is collecting is going into deep retrofitting. As the Minister of State, Deputy Smyth, who is present, has been told here all evening, there is a wait of up to two years. What is happening to the money the Government is collecting from hard-beaten motorists, whether...

- Energy Security: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2022)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to contribute on this important topic. I have never seen so many people so angry in recent times about what is happening to them and what is being allowed to happen to them by this Government. Electricity charges have trebled in the past 12 months. They have gone up every day since the Lanesboro and Shannonbridge plants were closed and the Government...
