- Leaders' Questions (23 Jan 2018)
Michael Healy-Rae: This is directed at the Taoiseach and the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Deputy Ring, in particular. They will be aware that no funding was available for local improvement scheme roads from 2011 to 2016. I always would be of the contention that the most important stretch of road in the country for a person living in a rural area is the stretch from his or her own house to the...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Jan 2018)
Michael Healy-Rae: I am, therefore, seeking an increase in the funding this year and that the Minister, Deputy Ring, would be allowed to secure at least €15 million rather than €10 million. Second, historically, it has been late August, September or into October when the funding has been announced. This is extremely difficult for and unfair to local authorities because they are then under...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Jan 2018)
Michael Healy-Rae: The Minister, Deputy Ring, knows better than anyone that agreeing to announce the level of funding in the year will make an awful difference to our local authorities. I cannot let the opportunity go without praising our own local authority, Kerry County Council, the management engineers, its area engineers and its senior executive engineers, who work diligently. I praise every one of the...

- Order of Business (23 Jan 2018)
Michael Healy-Rae: My question is on reducing waiting lists for X-rays. For the past 25 years, chiropractors have been able to refer patients to private hospitals or take X-rays in-house. On 6 February, the Minister, Deputy Harris, is due to sign into law an EU directive that will see this right taken away from them. Surely this is nonsensical as it will result in a massive surge on the waiting list for...
- Reception Conditions Directive: Motion (23 Jan 2018)
Michael Healy-Rae: The first thing I would say to the Minister is that I do not blame him one iota for this situation. He inherited the situation in which he finds himself. I am horrified at the way these people have had to live over many years but I certainly do not lay the blame for that at the Minister's door. I would not do that but I would say there is no point in looking backwards. We have to look...

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank Deputy Thomas Byrne and his party for bringing this very important motion before the House.

One thing that drives me mad about teaching...
