- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Delays in Departmental Scheme Payments: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: All right. I thank the Chairman and all the officials who have come in here. I am aware they are doing their best but, as a man said to my father long ago, their best is not good enough and they will have to improve.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Delays in Departmental Scheme Payments: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (25 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I have a fair suggestion. Could the Department pay every man who is owed money half of what he is owed tomorrow and sort through the remainder at the pace it is going, or faster if it can? This is a fair request at this stage. If I made this proposal, I would get many to second it here. It would be fair at this stage to those owed money for 2024. People are in a bad way without the...

- Review of Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act 2004: Statements (1 Jul 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: We all know that when a child presents with special needs and needs special assistance, it places a massive burden on his or her parents. The parents would prefer to see something wrong with themselves rather than their child. The Minister of State and I know that we do not need reports. We need funding. We need more specialist teachers and places and we need to speed up the assessment of...
- GPO and Moore Street Regeneration as a 1916 Cultural Quarter: Motion [Private Members] (1 Jul 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk on this motion this evening. To start, we all have to honour, respect and remember those leaders, men and women who fought for our country in 1916 and around that time, including during the Civil War, and all those who died along the way so we could be here having our own democratic Parliament. Everyone is entitled to talk and say what they believe...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (2 Jul 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to raise this matter in the Chamber. First, I have to explain the present setup. The national primary road coming into Killarney from the Cork side is a very busy road as it is. It goes through what we know locally as Daly's roundabout and then carries on to the old bypass, which has been built for over 50 years, to Tralee, Killorglin, all of mid-Kerry and...

It is at the planning stage at present. Anyone who wants to make a submission needs to make it before Friday evening. The people of Kerry need to know what is happening because this will create chaos. The...
- Nursing Homes: Motion [Private Members] (2 Jul 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: First, I thank the Labour Party for giving us the opportunity to talk about this important topic. It is an emotive subject when families have to make the decision to put someone into a nursing home. I vividly remember when my father was not great and a decision had to be made. I am glad we were able to keep him in his own home with Kathleen Fitzgerald. I thank all the people, including...
