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

Danny Healy-Rae: I am concerned about the Bill. I want to especially thank the Minister of State for bringing the Bill forward and at least we will have a cap. When I hear what Deputy Denis Naughten has come out with, that it will be six years if a couple are named on the deeds, that is not what we signed up to at all. That is bad. Take a farm with the value of €500,000, for example. It would be...

Health (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (14 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome this opportunity. I am disappointed with the legislation, which is being rushed through.

Maybe some few words were had with the heads of the vintners' organisation and so on, but there...

Lifting of Covid-19 Restrictions: Motion [Private Members] (14 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk on this very important matter. I thank Deputy Mattie McGrath and his office girls for helping us with this motion. More than anyone else, I look forward to every door being opened in the hospitality sector. Whether the businesses are pubs or small restaurants, they have been closed for far too long. The longer they remain closed, the greater the...

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (13 Jul 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get an opportunity to talk about the property tax and the new formulas that are being brought in. It is ironic this change is being introduced just as we are emerging from a gigantic public health pandemic. People are still worried, confused and out of sorts after being isolated. They are very worried about themselves and their families and now this is another concern. People...

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister of State for the reply. I wish to thank the Minister for incorporating apprenticeship into third level as it is very important provision. However, there is a severe lack of electricians, plumbers, carpenters, blocklayers, plasters and mechanics in all the trades. There are severe shortages of skilled drivers for machinery excavators, bulldozers, dumpers and lorries....

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister of State for his understanding of the rule that applies to people at the age of 70. It is very severe and many good drivers are left behind. We need to have more young people coming into all areas. I believe SOLAS should be resourced to manage the registration for employers. Its key focus should be to link employers and apprenticeships and to develop relationships...
