- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Statement of Strategy 2018 to 2020 and Project Ireland 2040: Discussion (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: There are hedges along our roads which need to be cut for the safety of everyone that uses the roads. I have no problem with hedges in the countryside and I have built hedges in my own land. I like hedges, and that is the gospel truth. However on roadsides which are in the remit of the National Parks and Wildlife Service will have to be cut. The Department should in no way prevent...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Statement of Strategy 2018 to 2020 and Project Ireland 2040: Discussion (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Mr. Ó Donnchú very much. I will make one suggestion. When the fires start I cannot understand why track excavators are not used to control them.

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: Small farmers and businesses, especially shop owners, have been waiting for a revised fair deal scheme for many years. The Minister of State at the Department of Health has announced that he will shortly bring forward this Bill, which was promised several times before. I will highlight what is wrong with the proposals the Minister of State will bring forward. The Department is still...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: What the Minister is doing is not fair.
- Northern Ireland: Statements (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute on this important matter. We speak about the North of Ireland, going back to our ancestors and history, and it should be a full part of our country. One objective that I share with many others is that we would again be one country under one all-Ireland government. In the context of Brexit, there are many possibilities that could have adverse...
- National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to speak for a couple of minutes on this very important topic. The Project Ireland 2040 plan and the millions or billions that will be spent in the meantime matter little to a particular lady who gets 20 minutes' home help and does not have anyone to cook her dinner. She is sick and tired of sandwiches and being showered. No one has time to cook a dinner...
- National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I ask the Ceann Comhairle to allow me a little latitude. If we were to comply and become completely emissions free, that would account for only 0.13% in a worldwide context. We are talking about bringing Ireland into line and the Government is trying to paralyse people in this country, but what about those in Japan and China who cannot see their belly buttons as a result of fog and smog? ...
- Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: TAMS Administration (12 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: 206. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the number of TAMS applications to be accepted will be increased in order to help young farmers in view of the fact that the TAMS grant scheme is oversubscribed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: There are no buses for rural Ireland.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: This policy and indeed all the hullabaloo yesterday has frightened many people again in rural Ireland. There is a race between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil to see who would be greener than the Greens. The headline in the paper was that the Government wants to force private motorists out of their cars. I want to tell the Taoiseach that people in rural Ireland cannot manage without a car.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: A lot of the Government's ideas are ridiculous and so are its targets. There are 4.8 million people in Ireland, which equates to 0.06% of the world population. India and China equate to 40% of the world's population. If we were totally emissions free, it would only equal 0.13 of 1% in the worldwide context.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: At the same time, we are all living under the same sky. Why is the Government imposing and suggesting these targets for people, especially working families and farmers in rural Ireland?
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: Does the Government know it is frightening the daylights out of the people? It has already blackguarded them badly enough.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are joined in this. They are tripping over each other to see who will be greener than the Greens.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister said he wanted to force private motorists out of their cars.
- National Minimum Wage (Protection of Employee Tips) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have this opportunity to speak in support of this Bill. I thank Sinn Féin for bringing it forward. It has always been my understanding that if someone gives a tip, it is for the waiter or the workers and not for management. It is for the staff. I have had no complaints in my county that anything other than that happens, but I hear it happens in other parts of the...
