Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: It is probably the finest place a person could be privileged enough to represent. However, from a policing point of view it brings its own problems. I thank the Minister very much for taking time out from his busy schedule during the summer to visit County Kerry.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister. It would be wrong of me not to acknowledge the work being done in increasing the number of gardaí on the beat, which I welcome.

Third Interim Report of the Disclosures Tribunal: Statements (17 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: I was actually coming into the Chamber in time for the next debate. I was listening in the office to Deputy Mattie McGrath's contribution and concur with him.

It was unfortunate to see...

Third Interim Report of the Disclosures Tribunal: Statements (17 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: I will put it this way. I certainly have an event or two to recall, but I am not that type of person. I know what was tried and failed and the individuals involved. It would make for interesting times, but it will be a long time before I tell. I have indicated it here because it certainly was an eventful time in my life. When there are people who are colluding to pull you down, it is not...

Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Oct 2018)

Michael Healy-Rae: There must be a requirement that all reasonable care be given to a baby born alive, perhaps after a failed abortion or an early termination under the grounds outlined in the legislation, to give it a chance to survive.
