Confidence in Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence: Motion (15 Sep 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I believe we are elected here to do a different type of work altogether. We were elected to represent people that need caring or that need to go into hospital. Our hospital service is in a ramshackle condition in Kerry and west Cork. The cost of living is going up and no one is saying anything about it. The cost of fuel, petrol and diesel is doing likewise. How will old people pay for...

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to support this amendment. As I understand it, the property tax was meant to be a residential tax. It now looks like if the farmer has a henhouse or a dog house, those hens or dogs will be charged the property tax as well. The amount of land around the property is to be increased to a hectare, which is 2.5 acres, which is totally unfair. This is like the...

Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will. I am finishing up. It would be remiss of me as an elected representative if I did not defend people from coastal communities to ensure they survive. They are at a crossroads now, like the hospitality sector. Who is going to be affected again only our rural areas? We do not want any further demise of those areas because they are gone down and gone back far enough.

Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I also want to speak on behalf of the fishermen of our country. I refer to fishermen operating right around our coasts from Castletownbere, Dingle and Berehaven and all areas along the west coast, whether in counties Mayo, Donegal or wherever. These fishermen have been badly let down. Being let down is now being compounded by other issues as well, including the sacking of the former...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: From the Seanad (14 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: Of course the sequestering of carbon will have to be counted. My worry from the outset was that farmers would not be allowed the carbon they sequestered. I contend that many farmers are sequestering more carbon than they are producing. I worry that the calculations are supposed to take seven years to account for what farmers are sequestering and how efficient they are. Many farmers are...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: From the Seanad (14 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am finishing up. It is not even worth the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's while cutting across me. I will finish up on that. The Government has done nothing at all for them and the way it is going, it will not have done anything for them.

Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: On foot of what Dr. Tony Holohan said this evening, the Minister has lost all credibility. He has given different reasons for introducing this Bill but Dr. Holohan said that he did not advise and was not advising that people under 18 years of age should be let into indoor hospitality. That tells me the Government is only making it up as it goes along. What is sad about this, and I support...

Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (14 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I ask the Minister of State for clarification. If one person is in a nursing home and the other person is at home and not availing of the fair deal scheme, is the assessment based on 7.5% of the value of the farm, house or whatever, or is it 3.75%? Does the three-year or six-year cap apply for a couple? Will the Minister of State please clarify that?
