Inshore Fishing: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jan 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister for recognising that we were the only group that tabled a motion representing inshore fishers. They have been left behind in many ways. The Minister spoke for ten minutes, but he did not say whether he would accede to our request for €12 million for inshore fishers in our coastal communities. They are on their knees. The situation has been spelled out for the...

Communications Regulation Bill 2022: Instruction to Committee (25 Jan 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: The retention of the post offices we have left in rural Ireland is vital if communities are to survive. We saw what happened in the UK.

We must do our best to retain the post offices we have left because they are vital to local communities. Elderly people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: Thank you, Chair, for giving me the opportunity. I am disgusted. I am disappointed. I had thought Deputy McConalogue, as a rural Minister, would do better and do more for farmers. Generally, at every turn they have been badly let down. We gave 800 years to trying to get the British out of these lands and blood was spilled on the streets outside 100 years ago to do just that. Now a UK...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Policy and Strategy: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jan 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister is wrong that farmers, if they want to stay farming at the level they are at and if they want to keep the same amount of stock, will have to increase their land area.

Danny Healy-Rae: Coillte is a semi-State body. What role has the Government then? Does the State have any involvement with Coillte if it can go out and do something like this without discussing it with the Department? The State was always involved with Coillte going back years. What is the Government's role now then? Has it any role to play in this? Did the investors ask the Department if they would be...
