Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: State Pathology Service (19 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: When will the State appoint a pathologist to serve County Kerry? The two pathologists we had previously have been retired for well over six months. Many families have had to wait six, eight or nine days for a pathologist to arrive to carry out the necessary examination, make a conclusion on the cause of death and return the remains to the family. In recent times, the families of three very...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: State Pathology Service (19 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister of State for the reply but with regard to a lot of the stuff he said, we know what happens and what is supposed to happen but it has not been happening in Kerry. I am not making it up that three very good friends of mine had to wait six, eight and nine days, with the funeral taking up to 11 days in all. There have also been several more that I was not aware of but was...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about this very important matter. I thank all those who put the motion together. It is very important that we bring this matter to the Government's attention. Tourism and the hospitality sector are of vital importance to County Kerry. So much depends on it.

International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to talk about this migration pact. I am totally opposed to this pact, as are most people in the country. In the council elections a few weeks ago, the biggest issue was immigration. The people do not the trust the Ministers with this pact. It was disingenuous of the Minister, Deputy McEntee, to try to confuse the issue last night by saying we need migrant workers. Yes, we do,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get an opportunity to say a few words about the late, great Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. He was a great Kerryman who had a unique voice and created excitement in all the games he commentated on. It was better to listen when he commentated on the radio than to watch the game on the television because there was more drama. He created excitement and he knew so much...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Taoiseach very much for his reply but I ask again if he will do something about the clause on significant urban generated pressure that is denying so many people planning permission. There people are asking for nothing only fair play and they are not getting it at present. They will build the house, pay for it and create employment. They will do all that themselves. We have...

Affordable Electricity: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to say a few words about the cost of electricity. Of course, I have often said before that the closure of Shannonbridge and Lanesborough power stations has resulted in the cost of electricity going up day after day. We have no control anymore because we have lost our main source of energy. When the wind does not blow, we need to have something. This means...

Affordable Electricity: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jun 2024)
