Local Government (Restoration of Town Councils) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (26 Sep 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: I would dearly love to see town councils coming back. I remember the great work that was done by people from across the party political divide in towns like Killarney, Tralee and Listowel over many decades. The work they did was so important. The re-establishment of town councils is of vital importance. They have a very important role to play in the future. They should never have been...

Michael Healy-Rae: I take grave exception to this amendment. I will give an example of what might happen if we take this to its ultimate conclusion.

Michael Healy-Rae: They are the words of wisdom of a man who is 104 years of age.

Michael Healy-Rae: Having heard the Minister's response, I am all the more concerned with regard to this specific issue. Anything the Minister said certainly does not convince me. I am listening attentively to what my colleagues are saying. We have not thought through the enormity of what we are doing here, the implications it will have and what it will mean.

Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Report Stage (26 Sep 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: It is important that signage and advertisements directing people to visitor centres and places that have built up trade would continue to be allowed in the future regardless of whatever is passed by the Dáil. If the amendments will help or assist that, they are obviously important. We cannot have a situation of the goalposts being moved in the middle of the game. For those who applied...
