Household Utility Bills Support: Motion [Private Members] (3 Feb 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad of the opportunity to talk on this important matter. I support the call for the increase in the fuel allowance and to allow others on social welfare to access the fuel allowance. As has already been mentioned, 15 months is too long for someone to wait if he or she cannot afford heating. My real problem is with the Government and its policies that increase the cost of fuel,...

Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (27 Jan 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to speak on the Bill. Other Members have asked about the €477 million. We need more clarity on how this figure came about and how much of it applies to Ireland. I sincerely hope farmers or people who could or would have benefited from funds like this will not be denied this money as a result of this or any other fraud. None of us in the House...

Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 (Covid Restrictions Support Scheme) (Percentage Adjustment) Order 2021: Motion (27 Jan 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to mention a few of the sectors that have been left behind with regard to the CRSS payment. Mineral water distributors are not closed down but more than 90% of their customers are not buying from them. In fact the distributors have to take back bottles at their own cost and dump the stuff. Taxi drivers in Killarney feel they have been let down. Some of...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (27 Jan 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: Earlier today, the Taoiseach mentioned the closing down of pubs and that he felt he was right to do so. However, 60% of the cases now being diagnosed are of the UK variant. Last year, I told the House more than once that the virus was not growing in the back yard of pubs and rather that it was coming in on airlines. The Government did nothing about it. The virus did not walk across the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise the lack of funding for Kerry roads on our local improvement scheme, LIS, list. This scheme has been in place for more than 40 years to resurface public roads not in the charge of the local authority. I am talking about public roads, not private roads. To qualify for the LIS, there must be at least two landholdings. I know of several roads that have anything from eight or...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply so far. Again, I want to make it clear that this scheme was suspended for five years from 2012 to 2017, which is why we have a savage amount of applications now. Some 697 applications are still waiting to get funding. Many of these have been waiting since 2007. I appeal to the Taoiseach. The amount of money we got last year was something in the region...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to speak on this topic. I thank Deputy Pringle and the Independent Group for giving us the chance to do that. Since becoming an elected Member many years ago, the most predominant problem that presents on a daily basis is housing for people. In Kerry there is a great housing department in the local authority, which does its level best to look after those...
