Home Building Finance Ireland Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...from urban areas. We want honest answers about what that means. What has the Government told the local authorities? Is it telling the local authorities that people must buy much more expensive houses in urban areas where development land is much more expensive and that they cannot build on their own sites that they may be getting from their fathers or uncles? That was always allowed....

Home Building Finance Ireland Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...the money. In 2015 we were told that €62.5 million was to be given to build social housing in County Kerry. That is well over three years ago and I can guarantee that €62.5 million has not landed in County Kerry. A total of 20 houses have been built in Killarney. That is the number that have been built so far and a few more have been started. A few houses have also been...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Sentencing Policy (5 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to his house from the public road. If someone opens the gate and proceeds along the laneway, he is watching at the window. He goes into an outside shed to peep around the corner to see who has landed in his yard. He will not make himself available if he does not know the person. That is how afraid he is after his house was broken into while he was at Mass. Two brothers, Tim and Joe,...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Sentencing Policy (5 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...communities should connect with the Garda, but that is impossible because of the closure of Garda stations in rural areas. There is no Garda station in Sneem and it is 35 minutes before a garda lands from Kenmare and almost an hour before a garda land from Killarney when gardaí based in Kenmare are out. Communities do not have the same level of interaction with the local garda as...

Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the Bill and the extension of hedge-cutting time to include the month of August and burning time to include the month of March. Farmers in Northern Ireland are allowed burn until 15 April and, as there is only a ditch between the North and the South, it does not make much sense for farmers here to have to cease by the end of February. Many Februarys have been wet and farmers could...

Urban Regeneration and Housing (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to talk on this matter this evening. I believe that most people who get up in the morning want to do right and they mean well but I have concerns about putting compulsory purchase orders, CPOs, on land or taking land off people. I am worried about that because if land was handed down or had to be bought at a high price, it may not be fair to take it off people if the balance is not right...

Order of Business (19 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to build their own homes have subsequently been affected by appeals to An Bord Pleanála by serial objectors. Likewise, farmers who want to build roads to bring timber from their forestry lands are given permission by their local authority and the forestry service, but, again, the decisions are appealed by the serial objectors. Will the Government do something about them by placing...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (13 Jun 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...homes with the Taoiseach over a week ago and the man had not a clue what I was talking about. I do not blame him. He is from Dublin and does not know what is happening or is needed in rural Ireland. Rural cottages have been a way of life in rural Ireland for years, longer than I can remember, since the 1960s. The person provided the site to the local authority, which built the...

Leaders' Questions (29 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...2015, the Government announced €62.5 million for housing in Kerry. It never told us by when it would be spent. Will it last until 2030? Rural cottages have been an integral part of rural Ireland since the foundation of the State, but in particular since the 1960s. Is this aligned with the famous Project Ireland 2040 where planning permission will only be granted in rural areas...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Burning of Land: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (8 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...going to be penalised because of the wider public. I do not know how the fire started but in one of the commonages it definitely came in from outside. The farmers saw the fire coming onto the land but could not stop it. For the farmers to be penalised for the fires that commonage is very high-handed action and I very much feel for them. It is totally wrong. It is like putting...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...somewhere will set it alight anyway. I am not saying that farmers do that. In fact, I am trying to support farmers and to have payments returned to them that were wrongfully taken because their lands were burned by fires that started elsewhere. Neither God nor man could have stopped those fires. These farmers rang the fire brigade and put their own lives in danger, but they have been...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister has said that landowners must pay to cut roadside hedges. I disagree with her view on that aspect, as I have done with many other people before now. Let us discuss what happens if a landowner tries to do anything outside his ditch but on the side of the road. He is not even allowed to erect a small sign that directs people to his business, property or whatever because the land...

Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (2 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is important to say a few words on this penalty which should be used to confiscate the properties, buildings, lands, chattels, vehicles, etc. held by drug lords and criminals. The penalty should fit the crime. It is a different story for parents whose children are being born today at a time when drugs are available around our country. As they bring up their children, they have to face...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (25 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...west of Sneem, where the school bus picks the schoolchildren up, and if we did not have that school bus, and if he is saying they should cycle into Kenmare, it would be dinner time before they landed. They would only be able to stay an hour or two before they would have to think about cycling home again. How ridiculous can he be? The honest truth of it is that I raised the issue of the...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...were drowned in water. There has been a lot of rain this year but we hope the weather will improve next year. In terms of uncontrolled burning, it was not all done by the farmers who owned the land. It came from outside and for different reasons. Uncontrolled burning took place in March because it was illegal to burn after the month of February. When places are overgrown they become...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: Killarney National Park on its own comprises 26,000 acres of land in Kerry and the estate managers cannot control the rhododendrons not to mind-----

Questions on Promised Legislation (24 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Government and the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine have not listened to calls for help. Is there not a special emergency fund that can be accessed from the EU? Many farmers on good land are only now leaving out some of their animals, as grass has now started to grow, but in County Kerry and all of the west, farmers cannot get their animals out. Will the Taoiseach do...

Order of Business (17 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...picking up. The Taoiseach may be involved in some way in the weather forecasting and maybe he knows more than I do, but the fact is that if it dried today it would take two to three weeks before land would dry so that a farmer could leave cattle out. Cattle are hungry. Cows are hungry. Lambs are perishing. Farmers' minds are being tested to the limit. Will the Taoiseach and his...

Danny Healy-Rae: The Chairman wants to take over private land or farmers' land along rivers. What is he at?
