Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (3 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: As the Taoiseach is well aware, farming at any time is a precarious way to make a living. Unfortunately this year a number of unforeseen circumstances have resulted in farmers suffering extreme difficulties. The price of cattle is on the floor and they are having a really tough time. Although I am only one Deputy in Kerry, yesterday I came across five farmers whose areas of natural...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: I must declare an interest before I make my contribution. I thank the Deputies who instigated this debate and all those who organised the protest today. I welcome anything that will make the Government wake up to the problem that we have. I am sick of reports and studies and everybody talking about the problem. The issue is simple. I may take a slightly different approach to other...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: These amendments relate to advertising and ensuring that places, be they interpretive centres or microbreweries, can advertise what is going on. This comes back to the question of whether the consumption of alcohol, the sale of alcohol and the promotion of the industry as a whole are bad things.

Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (3 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: I would like to speak to this amendment because I am totally opposed to what is being proposed. We cannot take young people and wrap them up in cotton wool and say they will never see something that we do not want them to see. Every young person today has a mobile phone. It is no longer a communications instrument for making phonecalls. It is their connection to the outside world. It is...

Public Health (Alcohol) Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (3 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: I reiterate that I cannot agree with the amendment. I do not agree with what the Minister proposes to do in the future. I never mentioned rural Ireland in my contribution because I never tried to say that this was specifically for one area or another. I am against what has been proposed for the whole country because I do not agree with it. If people are here in Dublin, win a game and want...
