National Broadband Plan: Motion [Private Members] (22 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to speak tonight on this very important matter. It is about connectivity and people in rural and, indeed, in urban areas. Much has been said about rural Ireland but we must realise that within half a mile of the great Killarney town, there are many places that do not have broadband. This spells out what is wrong. There are pockets that have been left...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Joint Meeting of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Joint Committee on Rural and Community Development
Common Agricultural Policy: Discussion (22 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome this opportunity to speak and thank the witnesses for their detailed answers. The first issue that gives me and the small farmers I represent bother is the question of what the outcome will be for them. We must ensure that there is a ceiling on payments. If there are to be larger payments to individuals, it means there will be less funding available for smaller farmers,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Joint Meeting of the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Joint Committee on Rural and Community Development
Common Agricultural Policy: Discussion (22 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: We deal with fisheries as well. That is all I will say about it. If we do not do something to assist young farmers, they will just not be bothered. If we cannot ensure that there is something in this programme for the young fellows coming on, there are so many other opportunities that it will be to the detriment of rural Ireland and the culture we are so proud of which has been handed to...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (23 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Suicide is a desperate sickness that affects the entire country and County Kerry is no different. Parents are losing their children, while children are losing their parents. The services available are just not effective or good enough. We know that before they died people had gone to doctors and hospitals in County Kerry and been sent home with a fistful of tablets. That is not good...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (23 Jan 2019)

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: People have lost confidence in both the health system and the Minister of Health. Indeed, they have lost confidence in all four Ministers in the Department. There are scandals whereby people are dying. I will just mention the CervicalCheck scandal whereby women are dying unnecessarily. There is now the escalating cost of the children's hospital, whereby the Government is going to pay...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Jan 2019)

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (29 Jan 2019)

No Consent, No Sale Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: They took my time, but it is all right. Like the other Deputies, I commiserate with the families in Donegal who lost their four lovely sons. It is very sad. I do not understand what is going on here at all. I am sure the same is true of anyone outside looking in here seeing what is going on. We debated a Bill to put money away in a rainy day fund and to make this generation suffer...

No Consent, No Sale Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: What is happening is terrible. These people went into a financial agreement with a bank, signed on the dotted line and, sadly, things have gone wrong for them. It is totally and absolutely wrong to allow the banks to sell their deal to some vultures in another country. It goes against the grain. I do not know if the Minister is after meeting a leprechaun or something. Half an hour ago...
