- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I want to ask one more question.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: Would it not make way more sense to give the extra work to the existing hackneys that are stuck?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: To do anything else would throw these fellows out of existence altogether.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: He has been called a lot of other names too. No more or less than he has called a lot of us.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the witnesses for coming in. We all know the value of Local Link and the services it has provided for many years. We appreciate it very much where it has done much for elderly people in rural places. We are talking about a separate matter altogether, though, which is what has transpired since the enactment of this very draconian Bill put in place late last year, particularly its...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Chairman must not have been listening at the start.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I again recognise there are many services and Local Link operated many of them prior to 2018. At the request of the Minister and his junior Minister, who were under pressure, as well as Deputy Heydon and others, there was a big story that a pilot scheme would be provided. The truth will always come out about what we got in Kerry. We got eight extra services, and one of them is once per...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: There is a lot of talk about operating these services at night. Rural Ireland is different from Dublin and many other places, including Cork city. In the mornings we do not have Luas, DART or bus services to transport us to work. There are many people who are isolated at the moment. They cannot even go to pubs anymore because many have closed already. People cannot have a social drink at...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: That is a real issue.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: The new legislation is only in place since November.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: It was not amusing to hear Deputy Murphy asking the Taoiseach to change the entire Dublin Bus fleet. Outside the Red Cow and indeed in all of rural Ireland, since the ramming through of the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act 2018, to please the Minister, Deputy Ross, people in rural Ireland are angered and frustrated like never before, young and old. Provisional drivers who are waiting for...

Danny Healy-Rae: One motor car will not transport the people-----
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise the plight of beef and suckler farmers countrywide. This vital industry is at a critical crossroads because farmers are not covering their costs. This cannot continue. There are two contributing factors. First, factories have a monopoly and are not paying farmers properly or fairly for the high standard of animals being produced and, second, not enough live exports are...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I asked the Taoiseach what he would do about the factories, the unfairness, and the rules and regulations that are hurting farmers. I have asked him many times in the Chamber but it looks as though he just does not get it or understand what is happening. The farming community is at a crossroads, as are all those who supply them or depend on them because when farmers go bad, the rest of the...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Mar 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is now clear the debacle of the national children's hospital spending overrun is having a devastating affect on many projects around the country. Kerry has already been hit. A sewerage scheme requested and promised for 15 years has again been put back until next year. The problem is that the scheme is to be laid along the road from Kilcummin to Killarney and the road cannot be...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Mar 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: As a result, the people of Kilcummin are being adversely affected.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Mar 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: That is what has happened.

Danny Healy-Rae: The Tánaiste is wrong.
- Civil Law (Presumption of Death) Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (12 Mar 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to say a few words in support of the Bill. As we all know, for as long as we can remember, sadly, people have gone missing and at a certain stage can be deemed definitely dead or presumed dead. I refer especially to those girls in the midlands and indeed the young child in the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's county, Mary Boyle. We all remember them and the people...
- National Children's Hospital: Motion [Private Members] (12 Mar 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Deputy should not interrupt.
