An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Jun 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: Lyme disease is causing fierce problems for many people in County Kerry. It is not even recognised by the Department of Health as a disease, never mind providing treatment for it. Many people have to travel abroad for treatment, to Germany and the USA, at a massive cost. Councillor Maura Healy-Rae brought a motion to Kerry County Council before Christmas last year and she was supported by...

Education Costs: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (20 Jun 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to speak on this motion and I thank Sinn Féin for bringing it forward in the Chamber tonight. Every one of us elected here recognises that we must assist people in every way to ensure that our children can access education.

Home Care and Support Services: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Regional Group for this timely motion. Home help is something every public representative is dealing with. On an hourly basis, there is someone ringing about home help. When people get elderly and have little problems, they want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. We should be doing a lot more to help these people stay in their homes and give them the home help...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Jun 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise with the Minister the very serious matter of how Government policy is being fine-tuned to cut farm production by rewetting, cutting dairy cow numbers and the nitrates directive. This will impact directly on farmers’ incomes, reduce vibrancy in every sector of rural communities and impact on food security and increase the cost of food to everyone in our country. As we...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Jun 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister for his reply. The Government is not being truthful to the farmers. It is not telling them what is needed or what is going to happen. Earlier this year, the Government agreed that farmers would have to cut their emissions by 25% and said this would be achievable. The Government should tell us what it is going to do and what farmers have to do because farmers want to...

They want us to cull cows, rewet land and reduce production by other means through the nitrates directive. Last year, the Taoiseach at the time, Deputy Micheál Martin, was violent when I asked if the Government was...
