- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Apr 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: That is another question. The witnesses talk a lot about the UK and Brexit. It is time the UK made its mind up as to whether it is coming or going but the price is already lower for animals and beef we are exporting to the UK. What is the reason for that? I have already asked this question in this forum. The other thing is-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Future of the Beef Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Apr 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: Farmers are being told one day that the factories do not want black Limousin cattle but rather that they want red Limousin cattle. They are being told that they want white Charolais but not brown or grey Charolais. What is the difference in the bloody meat when the carcase is taken off them? That is why the farmer is being blackguarded and driven down to the ground. However, he will not...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Apr 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I raised the fair deal scheme two weeks ago and referred to the slow rate at which funds were being made available to Cork and Kerry. The Minister denied there was a problem but it was in the newspapers yesterday and the leader of Fianna Fáil also raised it. That is because it is an issue. Hundreds of farmers came here yesterday. Where is the legislation for the fair deal for farmers...

- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Apr 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: Why is the Government still insisting on assessing the entire value of a farm instead of just the dwelling? This is discrimination. It appears that farmers are paying for the fair deal scheme for the rest of the country.
- Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (17 Apr 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to say a few words. Deputy Mattie McGrath seems to be sure that the end game is in sight with Brexit. I am not so sure that it is. Kerry is the county furthest away from Europe and the next stop is New York. The people I represent are tired and fed up with all this talk of Brexit. It is Brexit for breakfast, dinner and supper and if people have anything...
- Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I cannot support the motion. While I have the height of regard and respect for Deputies Eamon Ryan and Catherine Martin of the Green Party, I do not agree with the motion they have put forward. It focuses on Dublin and touches on Galway, Cork and Limerick but there is a lot of territory beyond Limerick and Cork where people need their cars for transport. I agree with having more public...
