- Project Ireland 2040: Statements (Resumed) (21 Feb 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I was interrupted a small bit. We are told now that we must go electric. If the Government thinks it is going down the country with electric cars, I note that we are practically swimming in pools of water because no dykes are opened at the sides of the roads. If one splash of water goes into these electric cars-----

- Supporting the Suckling Sector: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2018)

- Supporting the Suckling Sector: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I can tell him there are very good suckler farmers in south and west Kerry and they pride themselves on farming and producing good weanlings. Like everything, the source of the beef is the calf. If the calves are not going to be looked after, we are at a crossroads. I hear the vibes around the circuit that the suckler farmer is finding it very hard to continue and is very likely to cut...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (22 Feb 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: There have been a lot of promises and reports to do something about homeless people and building houses. However, what reason or what gripe has the Government with people in rural Ireland wanting to build their own homes? In this new 2040 plan, that never mentioned Kerry by the way, the Government is saying that houses can only be built in the open countryside if they do not detract from...

The notion of introducing a cancer warning label that would cover one third of the packaging of alcohol products was...
- Motor Insurance: Motion [Private Members] (27 Feb 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to talk about this serious matter. The first group of young drivers are discriminated against to the extent that it is almost impossible for them to go on the road now with the cost of insurance, even with a full licence. Indeed for those with only a provisional licence there is a Minister here saying they should not be on the road at all and that the...
- Motor Insurance: Motion [Private Members] (27 Feb 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: The claims are what is wrong. There are solicitors who are looking for people to claim. They are saying they got so much for one person and will get the same for another person. They are advertising. The Personal Injuries Assessment Board, PIAB, only deals with 20% of claims. It should be dealing with all the claims but is not. Why is that? The Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, who...
