- Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Instruction to Committee (24 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am totally opposed to provisional drivers being added to the Bill because it will affect young fellows in rural Ireland. The Minister need not shake his head because it will affect them. It has already affected one young fellow in Killorglin and a few more in different places. He lost his apprenticeship because he could not get to work. His father and mother could not allow him to take...
- Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (24 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I reiterate I am vehemently opposed to the Bill in its entirety and to the additional proposal regarding learner drivers. A couple of weeks ago, the Government made much ado about the lack of teachers. Students who are going to college, whether they are in Kilgarvan, the Black Valley, Cahirciveen or wherever else, have to undertake teacher training in different schools around their areas....
- Community Employment Pension Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (24 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Fianna Fáil for bringing forward the motion. I welcome each and every person who has come here and thank him or her for the great work he or she has done. I welcome the people who have come from County Kerry. I salute Mr. Michael Brosnan who worked for me and did great work on the schemes on which he worked. I salute all of the people who have come from County Kerry. They...
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise two matters regarding the lack of infrastructure in Kerry. On the N70 road to the west of Blackwater Bridge, on the Kenmare to Sneem road, there is a 4 km section between Foley’s Bend and the west of Tahilla Church where two large vehicles cannot pass when they meet each other. It is not safe. A lorry or bus and one car cannot pass each other but have to reverse....
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: Will the Minister of State, Deputy Griffin, or the Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Moran, provide the funding to raise the road for people's safety? It is not fair on people that they have to get through salt water. The road can be blocked for up to a week at a time. Will the Government ensure funding is made available for these worthwhile projects?
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Government can spend €135 million on a footpath in Dublin. We are asking for small sums of money to be made available. In the context of what Kerry gets in a year, this is a small request. It is not fair to ask people to drive through a flood to get into their village.
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I did not interrupt Deputy Brassil when he raised the matter. He asked me if I knew where it is. I know too well where it is. I make no apology to anyone for raising it in the Chamber.
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I did not interrupt Deputy Brassil.
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I did not interrupt him. The Minister of State, Deputy Griffin, criticised Jackie Healy-Rae for bringing funding down to Kerry. Let the Minister of State bring down the funding for the N70 between Blackwater Bridge and Sneem. Jackie Healy-Rae brought a lot of money and did a lot to improve sections of these roads. There are a few bits remaining to be done. It is time the Minister of...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: On the health of our elderly people, the lack of home help is still a serious problem in Kerry. I know it is an ambition of everyone in this Chamber to ensure that each old person is helped to stay in his or her own home as long as possible. However, we do not have enough home help hours for patients or the elderly in our county. At weekends and on Saturdays and Sundays, it is impossible...
- Nurses' and Midwives' Pay and Recruitment: Motion [Private Members] (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad of the opportunity to talk on this important matter. Nurses are under severe pressure in University Hospital Kerry, Killarney Community Hospital, Kenmare and Dingle hospitals and Bantry General Hospital, to which many people from our side of the country go. I remember only too well the intensive care unit of Tralee general hospital as my father was there for many weeks. The night...
