Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am very concerned about this fertiliser register. Many farmers in my area are seriously concerned because they need fertiliser to maintain the level of stocking they have today. Without it, there will be a reduction in their herds. It again looks like we are going backwards. We will be in the same situation we were in during the early 1970s, when everyone knew how many cows the grass in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will ask for clarification if I may regarding what Mr. McCormack said about farmers needing to be told in May or June how much fertiliser they have left that they can buy. They need to be told by their distributor, whether it is Kerry Co-Operative Creameries or another co-operative, before they run out or they will have nothing to spread in July or August in terms of fertiliser, silage or...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am calling for a frank and open debate on the impact and effect the very significant number of refugees and asylum seekers coming into this country is having on our services, be it doctors, social welfare offices, hospitals, education and our hospitality industry in Kerry. We are very worried that it could be dismantled. I am saying to the Taoiseach that it is not enough to say the...

Finance Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to raise issues about this budget. All we ever ask in a budget is that the Minister and the Government be fair with all sectors of the people. That has not happened in this budget. Sadly, people depending on diesel and petrol-fuelled cars, where they have no other option, together with lorry men who are on the road day after day, were promised throughout...

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I believe it is two and a half minutes each.

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for this important motion but there are many parts of rural Kerry that do not have public transport at all. If we are honest, there is not enough money in the Central Bank to service all of rural County Kerry with public transport because it is so expansive and places are so remote. However, we want people to live there and we want to assist in whatever way we can....

Social and Affordable Housing Supply: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (26 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank People Before Profit for tabling the motion and giving us an opportunity to talk about these very serious issues that are neglected in the housing programme. A week or so ago, Councillor Maura Healy-Rae tabled a motion in Kerry County Council asking how many vacant houses, voids, were in the county, and the number was 171. I am glad the Minister is in the Chamber because I want...

Danny Healy-Rae: He has not given it and he should not laugh at me. This is the truth.

Social and Affordable Housing Supply: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (26 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: He has not. He should ask the housing section in Kerry County Council.

Residential Tenancies (Deferment of Termination Dates of Certain Tenancies) Bill 2022: Second Stage (26 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk on this very serious matter. I, too, am looking at this from both sides. I really feel for the people who have to give up their tenancy or whatever or when they get notice to quit, mothers with maybe three children, couples and young children. So many times there is a human side to their story. It is sad that we are not improving and have not...

Development (Emergency Electricity Generation) Bill 2022: Second Stage (26 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister does not want turf or gas. God only knows what he wants. The Government Deputies themselves certainly do not know. Every day since the Government closed down Bord na Móna, the cost of electricity has gone up. The Government has sabotaged the country. It has left the people not sure whether they will have electricity despite the savage bills they are paying. Old women...
