- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing for All: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (18 Apr 2023)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the witnesses from the Department for their attendance. Having listened to Senator Cummins and to Deputy Gould, I accept that we all have different angles, but the one commonality is to provide as much housing as possible for people who need houses and who are in a desperate way in different situations around the different counties. In the neck of the woods that I come from,...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing for All: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (18 Apr 2023)
Danny Healy-Rae: I will raise another issue. We have an awful lot of national primary and secondary roads in our county. Young fellows who want to build would get planning permission with no bother, except there are restrictions from the National Roads Authority and Transport Infrastructure Ireland, even with existing entrances or exits or whatever we want to call them. If you are coming out it is an exit...

- Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (26 Apr 2023)
Danny Healy-Rae: Food security is paramount to everyone, not alone the farmers but also the consumers. We all see what happened with the fertiliser. It is my belief that the cartel operated by the larger co-ops in this country have ensured that the cost of fertiliser went to the highest that it could. This year, even with the price of gas coming down, we see they are still trying to make the argument that...
- Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Report Stage (26 Apr 2023)
Danny Healy-Rae: I want to ask the Minister a direct question. Will he instigate an investigation into what has happened with fertiliser and the exorbitant cost of it? A cartel is operating. We have even been told the larger co-operatives have asked the suppliers that import fertiliser not to supply it or to hold up the supply to the smaller merchants, and that is very serious. It looks to everyone out...
