Government Response to Salisbury Attack: Statements (27 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I, too, wish to voice my disappointment and anger at the attack in Salisbury on 4 March. I do not believe, however, there is much point in debating this issue here now because the decision has been made to expel a diplomat from the Russian embassy. I wonder how the Government decided on one person. Were all the names put into a hat and one fellow pulled out? How long will the termination...

Services for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (27 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on this very important motion. The Minister of State visited St. Mary of the Angels in Kerry and saw at first hand the great work which was being done there. Sadly, no new children are being admitted to the centre. While no one is currently being moved, there is concern that people will be moved. I am calling for an independent assessment of how...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I support my two colleagues, Deputies Cahill and McConalogue, who have raised the serious matter of the way farmers are fixed. The other day I drove all the way from Drogheda to Kerry. There was not one blade of grass on either side of the road. The fact is cattle have been housed since last September. We need to be aware that is why the knackeries are full. The lorries are on the road...

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I have questions on the suckler cow. These farmers are now described as "hobby farmers". I know what they have to go through because we do it ourselves. Between calving cows in the middle of the night, losing calves and all that goes with it, breeding them and trying to have the right bulls, these suckler cow farmers are not even breaking even now. That is the gospel truth. They come to...

Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: The HSE is getting massive sums of money each year and there are five Ministers in the Department of Health. Nevertheless, we do not have enough front-line staff. It has become apparent again in recent days that the HSE is hiring clerical and administrative staff at a 3:1 ratio as against front-line staff. That is where we are falling down. That is why we have queues in the accident and...

Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: This is the HSE and the health service we are trying to provide to people who are sick and who need assistance. Will the Taoiseach rein these people in? The HSE is hiring administrative and clerical staff at a 3:1 ratio to front-line staff. This is totally wrong. All through the crisis when the country was in serious trouble, the HSE was still hiring them and it is hiring them again now...

HPV Vaccine: Motion [Private Members] (28 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: Cancer is a desperate disease that affects so many people. Having attended the funerals of so many young women who have passed away because of cancer, I would certainly advise people to have the HPV vaccine. There is a lot of weight behind its approval. I have to acknowledge the people I have met, young girls who have had an adverse reaction to this vaccine. It really did affect them. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: National Transport Authority (28 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I could take half a minute, instead of the Chairman speaking.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: National Transport Authority (28 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: What provision is being made for rural bus providers to cater for disabled people wishing to access transport? How can it be fair that a company in Kerry, which I will not name and that has State money, can tender against private contractors for bus runs and community runs? This has been raised in the Chamber and I want to raise it again because it is absolutely unfair on private...
