Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: As I have done several times before, I wish to raise with the Taoiseach today the issue of funding for the local improvement schemes in Kerry. As I said, I raised this several times last year. I even got the Deputy Chief Whip, Deputy Griffin, interested in the scheme as well. We have had a new list since 2018, which includes applicants since 2007. We got 19 roads done last year. At this...

National Driver Licence Service: Motion [Private Members] (2 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Independent Group for tabling this very worthy motion. It is a scandal to God that a walk-in service is no longer offered to renew licences in Tralee. People must book an appointment online. People who do not use the Internet have long waits to get through on the phone line to make an appointment. This is something I have to say. To get these people on the phone is absolutely...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: HSE (2 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I also want to welcome the people from the HSE. We all agree that this has been a terrible neglect or hurt of many children in south Kerry. We all know that as boys and girls grow into men and women and their bodies change physically, many have mental health problems. I regret what seems to have been happening in many instances, which I believe was going on beyond the numbers we have heard...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Budget Process (1 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am asking the Minister to do something about the escalating cost of fuel and energy that people must now bear. I am asking for a mini-budget or for the Minister to do something to give back some of the extra tax that has been accrued as a result of the increase in the base cost of the fuel that is coming into the country. The Government is taking in a greater amount of tax so I am asking...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Budget Process (1 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I appreciate all the measures the Government has taken. However, many people have not benefited from those gestures from the Government. That is especially the case for people who are on the road and going to work, and families who are taking children to school. The costs for commercial lorries and others in the transport industry have gone up steeply. I am also talking about industrial...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Budget Process (1 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister. I appreciate all the things the Government has done but it must do more to help people. The Minister has vast experience. I know the Government wants to create employment. However, we must protect the employment we have. We must protect people who are going to work. We must protect the farmers who are suffering. It is the domestic users who will suffer in the end....

Health Waiting Lists: Motion [Private Members] (1 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for bringing this debate to the floor of the Dáil tonight, as it is very important and urgent. The HSE system is failing many sick and vulnerable people all over the country, young and old. Starting with older people in University Hospital Kerry in Tralee where people have been waiting on trolleys for anything up to two or three days in recent months. I refer to...

Support for the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of Ukraine: Motion (1 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get this opportunity to support the people of Ukraine, who are going through a terrible time, and to support unequivocally all of those poor people who are suffering so much – men, women and children. We welcome those who are seeking refuge here in Ireland and those who have already arrived here safely, especially one girl I know of who arrived in Killarney late last...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am calling for a full and comprehensive debate on the proposed Shannon LNG terminal in the Shannon estuary. We need to have a frank and honest debate here about the provision of energy. At present, we are importing coal from Russia and Europe is importing gas from Russia and we are then talking about sanctioning Russia. We need to have a frank and honest debate here about the provision...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Feb 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: All those ideals are fine. It is like live horse, and you will get grass. The Tánaiste talked about ten years down the road, but what are we going to do in the meantime? I am in favour of wind turbines in the right place, not near houses. Like everything, there are objections to them, and I support the people who object to wind turbines near their houses, but the wind does not blow...
