Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I too want to pray for the little children who were stabbed, wronged, hurt and brutally injured in O’Connell Street on Thursday evening. I also condemn what happened after.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: The nitrates derogation reduction becomes a reality from 31 December, changing from 250 kg N/ha to 220 kg N/ha. This means we will have to slaughter 40,000 heavily-in-calf cows this coming year because there is no other market for them, and 160,000 in the next four years. Farmers will have reduced incomes, and smaller farmers will become unviable. Tim Herlihy, from Inches in Rathmore, has...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: The political point is that if we do not sell food from Ireland people will get it elsewhere. It is very clear to me that neither the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin or Charlie McConalogue put up any real fight to stop this. Consumers will have to get food. There are a million more people in Ireland. I hope the Government is not thinking of slaughtering some of them. I would not trust the...

Confidence in the Minister for Justice: Motion (5 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: These thugs and blackguards do not deserve the name of any political category, such as calling them "far right" or "right". They are thugs, blackguards, thieves and robbers.

Instead, she is supporting a Commissioner who does not have the...

Renters: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (5 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I heard Deputy Tóibín say it takes eight months for the local authority to turn around a house where he comes from.

I was made promises in this regard the year before last, last year and...
