Rural and Community Development: Statements (18 Nov 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: Since I came up here five years ago, I have listened to how broadband is being rolled out. We have another new broadband plan but it has not hit Kerry yet. They must be rolling it out around the Curragh now because we seem to be as far away as ever from getting broadband in Kerry. Mobile phone coverage is a disaster in many parts of County Kerry. If one got off the plane in Farranfore,...

We cannot blame bars or restaurants for the increase in cases...

Danny Healy-Rae: There are 2,000 applications stuck in the system. Serious questions need to be asked of senior management. If one commits manslaughter, one would only get seven years, or one may not even get seven years.
