Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the Merchants Alliance and the other two groups to the meeting. I hear what they are asking and they are being very fair. I know Mr. O'Shea very well. He has been coming to Kenmare and providing a service at the mart for many years, as well as other places. He and his likes are appreciated by the farmers. When a farmer gets up in the morning, he will have 100 different jobs to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Cathaoirleach. From all the interchanges there, I resent very much the assertion made by the Department official, Ms Garvan, which insinuated that farmers would not know the dose they should be giving to their animals. As a farmer for many years, I know what kind of dose the man would have wanted. In my case, I would go to the likes of Terence O'Shea for an animal dose or...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Jun 2025)

Danny Healy-Rae: The cost of building a new house is somewhere around €400,000 for a young couple or whomever. One third of the actual building cost comprises VAT, other taxes and levies. Will the Government consider doing anything about that? Would it be possible to increase the first-time buyers grant if people were incentivised to build smaller houses, like we used to do in the 1970s and...

Finance (Local Property Tax and Other Provisions) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (17 Jun 2025)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about this Bill. It relates to an important topic. People talk a good deal about local property tax, especially those who cannot ill-afford to pay it and who are often in trouble. It gives those people who are living hand to mouth and who barely have enough to cover the cost of everything, from putting food on the table to keeping their heat or...

Emergency Action on Housing and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (17 Jun 2025)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about housing again. This is a crisis. Everyone recognises that it is a crisis. I am not one bit happy that landlords or homeowners are being blamed for what is happening in the rental sector. Every site seems to be pointing at people who own houses and are trying to rent them out. I point out that I do have no house only my own. There are many...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to discuss with the Minister of State the promised appeals process for business grants where businesses were misclassified, including the power up grant. When will this appeals process begin? In the past few days, we have been in contact with our local authority and it has not been informed of any appeals process or it is not sure if it will happen. In...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Business Supports (18 Jun 2025)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister of State, but I am a bit confused now. First, I thank the Government for bringing in these two schemes. I also my local authority and all of the local authorities around the country for the great work they did in delivering those grants to the people involved who had applied. The Minister of State has just said that the local authorities are working through the...

Public Transport Experience: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2025)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to speak. We have more public transport at the present time. There is a service from Kenmare through to Kilgarvan to Killarney that is great, but maybe a medium-sized bus would suffice rather than the large bus it has. Maybe we could get more bus stops. We need more bus stops because it is not much good to have a bus passing by when people are waiting by...
