- Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Will the Minister of State provide funding to local authorities and remove the shackles that have been imposed on them? The four stages of approval demanded by the Department take too long and funding is not filtering down to local authorities. It has been suggested that local authorities, including ours, are not able to build houses because they have...

- UK Withdrawal from the EU: Statements (Resumed) (27 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: We are all talking in a vacuum tonight, as we do not know what the British Prime Minister, Mrs. May, is really going to do or what her timeframe is for Brexit. I do not think even Mrs. May knows what she is doing herself. After the Brexit vote, I was the first to suggest we cajole the UK into having another vote. That may not even be out of the frame yet. I hope it is not because I know...
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: Will the Taoiseach progress the Killarney bypass scheme which has been suspended for many years and which way back in 2003 was scheduled to be completed some time in 2009. The new bypass is, or was, to begin on the western side of Farranfore, bypass Killarney and join the N22 to Cork and the N72 to Mallow at Lissivigeen. Another segment of the scheme is to link Muckross Road to Moll's Gap...
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: First, I have to clarify that the Taoiseach is talking about the Macroom bypass, a project we are looking forward to being progressed.
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: As we know that the Taoiseach is not long in the job, we will excuse him. I am referring to the bypass which will link Tralee and Cork without the need to pass through Killarney. IBEC has told us clearly that Ireland has the fewest number of infrastructural projects in Europe, either under way or ready to go. Most of the country, with the exception of Dublin, is standing still. I call on...

- Order of Business (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: I would like to join in that request to ask that the time be extended for at least two weeks. It has been the worst year in history for spreading slurry. All the tanks are full. Please give them a chance by extending the time by two weeks.
- Order of Business (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: We have moved away from slurry.
- Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the opportunity to speak on these matters related to pensions and the public services card. As I understand it, there are three pensions Bills to be brought before us in this Chamber in the current term. They come from Deputies Richard Boyd Barrett, Willie Penrose and Johnny Brady. I do not deny any of the three Deputies the right to bring whatever they wish before us in the...
- Animal Welfare: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: The farming community, and I include myself in that, were brought up to make sure that animals were not mistreated and that they were fed, because if anything untoward was done to an animal, we were told that it would turn back on the farmer and that he or she would have bad luck. I estimate that 99% of people care for animals, especially the farmers, and we have to recognise the great...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: I have to raise again the question of orthodontic treatment for young girls especially, or the non-treatment of these girls. I am sure it affects boys as well in the county that I come from. What progress has the Taoiseach or the Minister for Health made with the Health Service Executive, HSE, in finding out why such a delay exists? I have been told there are five types of waiting list:...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: Why is it that there has been no funding for that waiting list initiative since 2016?
- Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: This Government is giving millions of euro to the HSE and we are not looking after these vulnerable people. Is the Government going to deal with this or not? If it does not it should forget about it altogether and pull out. It has gone beyond-----
- Questions on Promised Legislation (4 Oct 2017)
