Danny Healy-Rae: The next thing is we will be putting tags on people's ears like the cattle.
- Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk on this motion. It is not fair especially to smaller parties and Independents. It is a blatant attempt by the Government's party to boost its chances of retaining power and increasing power at the next election. The spin in the 2040 document and the announcement in Sligo at which the Government had all its candidates from the neighbouring...
- An Bille um an Séú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht 2018: An Dara Céim (Atógáil) - Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to reiterate my firm belief that life begins when a baby begins to grow inside a woman. It is a crime to take a life. Let us go back to what abortion is. People should educate themselves that abortion is stopping the right of a little baby to live or continue its journey into this life from the mother's womb. I was absolutely disgusted and so upset when I heard the way it is done,...

Danny Healy-Rae: So many people would love to have a baby but cannot. If a mother is in trouble, why can she not get help and seek to have her baby adopted by such people? Many couples would love to adopt a baby. What about the lovely, big families that were reared around my neck of the woods? There were 22 Cahills, 17 Lovetts and 15 O'Connors who are still around. They were fine boys and girls....

Danny Healy-Rae: There is a God in this world, because she did not become President of America. Whatever about President Trump - there is much criticism of him outside his country and many people are in favour of him in his country - it is a good job that someone like her did not get power, given how she propagated something like that. It was horrible and outrageous. I was listening to the radio one...

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government has its view and I have mine. If this referendum goes through, which I hope it does not, we will see in a short time who is right and who is wrong. The Citizens' Assembly and the Oireachtas committee seemed to have one aim and one aim only on this issue, that being, to recommend a referendum to repeal the eighth amendment as soon as possible. Throughout the process, they...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (21 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: Broadband or the lack of it in Kerry is still a major issue for many people. I will not say it is confined to rural areas because I would class many of the places as urban but broadband has not yet reached them. To say people are disappointed is an understatement. Many people trying to conduct businesses or to keep going are very angry. Eircom was sold and a new company known as Eir was...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (21 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: Could the Taoiseach clarify whether it is a possibility that he might purchase Eir again because it should never have been sold in the first place?
- European Council: Statements (21 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on this important matter. Brexit is a major concern in my constituency, especially among those living in rural parts of County Kerry who depend on farming. Small business owners are also worried about what will become of them after Brexit. Significant expectations were created before Christmas with regard to the border with the North. The...

- Citizens' Assembly: Motion (21 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I ask that the Government give no more time to these people. They were elected by no one and several counties were not included in the assembly. I appeal to the Government not to allow the assembly to go any further. It has done too much harm. Please, do not let it do anymore. I am not supporting an extension of time. Blow the assembly out of it.
