Questions on Promised Legislation (20 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: The cost of fuel, diesel and petrol, has gone through the roof, especially in the past six months and since the last budget. I understand the Exchequer's revenue take is now at least 20 cent more per litre of diesel or petrol. I ask the Taoiseach to forgo that massive revenue take increase and give some of it back to the poor people. Hauliers, ordinary people who drive to work and farmers...

Health Waiting Lists: Motion [Private Members] (20 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: Parents are waiting with sick children. They cannot sleep as they are worried about when consultants will see them and they are waiting for treatment.

The most serious thing at present is that people are waiting in our cardiac unit, a unit that does massive work for many people in Kerry, Cork and the south of...

United States Immigration Policy: Motion (20 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I deplore the separation of immigrant children from their parents. That goes against the grain of humane behaviour. I would not condone it and I deplore it. We are depending on the same government led by President Trump to be lenient with Irish immigrants to the US who have played a major part in building America since the 1700s when many of our forefathers went there on the coffin ships...

Summer Economic Statement 2018: Statements (20 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am grateful for the opportunity to speak in this very important debate and will begin by speaking about health.

Questions on Promised Legislation (27 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: There is a promise on page 56 of A Programme for a Partnership Government to the effect that equal and fair treatment will be given to sick and vulnerable people and children. That is why Ms Noreen O'Neill from Kilgarvan and her friends are climbing Croagh Patrick next weekend. They are highlighting the need for tetrahydrocannabinol, THC, to be made available.

Pre-European Council: Statements (27 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I ask the Minister of State to be truthful when she gives her interpretation of what is happening in respect of England leaving the EU. We were given the impression before Christmas by the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste that all was rosy in the garden and that there would not be a hard border. I do not know how or where that interpretation came from because it seems that everything is still...

Danny Healy-Rae: Deputy Mattie McGrath has taken all the time. We should do what is wanted by the people out the country being affected by thieves, blackguards and criminals. When dealing with serial offenders, we should give them no bail or legal aid. The first day they are caught they should go before a judge and be jailed right away.

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (27 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: When the Minister spoke at the beginning of the debate on this particular amendment he said that a young, unaccompanied driver, when stopped on the side of the road, will be taken out of his or her car and left there while the car is taken away.

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (27 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is as I have said since this debate began. The Minister does not understand the places I am talking about. Each place is different. Each place is remote, and other places are more remote. I am entitled to point out, on the floor of the Dáil, and I will abide by the direction of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, that each place is different. I represent each of those places. I represent...
