Water and Wastewater Treatment Services: Motion [Private Members] (19 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Regional Group and Deputy Naughten for giving us the opportunity to speak about this very important matter. At the outset I will contradict a comment made by Deputy Bríd Smith to the effect that smelly water is running down the streets of Cahersiveen. She can look after her constituency and I will look after the people of Cahersiveen. Irish Water is only obliged to keep...

Danny Healy-Rae: There is no smelly water running down the streets of Cahersiveen.

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for allowing us this time to debate this very important motion. I have nothing personal to say to anyone, but there is a hames being made of the building of houses. The Government is paying a regulator to dezone land in Kerry. It is paying a regulator to block one-off houses for people who would build the houses themselves if they could get the planning permission....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government will have to fund Irish Water properly to develop these schemes because it is a case of live horse and you will get grass. It will not work. Leaving out the roads of Clashnagarrane, Knockataggle and Rahanane, which the village is actually built in, is absolutely ridiculous. The Taoiseach mentioned the Minister, Deputy Foley. I am saying to her that the five Deputies from...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: God damn it, Taoiseach, you are going on for 21 years and the people of Kilcummin are honest, hard-working people and they deserve the scheme.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I raise with the Taoiseach the issue of the building of a sewerage scheme in Kilcummin, east Kerry, north of and bounding Killarney. The people in Kilcummin have been trying to progress this scheme since 2000. Work was to begin around 2006 or 2007 but the contractor was found not to be able to deliver. Thus, Kerry County Council decided to tender it out again and a new form of tender was...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Driver Test (18 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: 255. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the current process of rescheduling theory tests will be reviewed (details supplied); the way he plans for the backlog to be dealt with; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25865/21]

Planning and Development, Heritage and Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have an opportunity to contribute on behalf of farmers and landowners throughout County Kerry on this very important issue. We have been hurt by designations before and no proper compensation was given to farmers. I have said previously in Dáil Éireann that it is a terrible thing when a farmer's house is broken into, perhaps when he or she is at mass, and money and...

Planning and Development, Heritage and Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (12 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will be very brief in concluding. I am asking the Minister of State not to ram designations down farmers' throats, nor do this behind their backs. I am asking that he give the people of Kerry and Ireland the chance to make submissions if maps are being produced and more land is going to be designated as SACs or whatever designation is being put on them. I am asking that people be advised...

Loan Guarantee Schemes Arrangements (Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland) Bill 2021: Second Stage (12 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to speak on this important Government Bill. It is important at this time as the country begins to open up for many operators that have been severely hit, including SMEs, tour operators in Kerry, hoteliers, restaurateurs and publicans. I have to pass a yard in Killarney when taking the Killarney bypass every day where over 90 buses have been parked without moving for almost a year...

Private Security Services (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am very concerned about certain sections of this Bill. Evicting people and families from their homes is wrong and should be avoided in every way possible. As Deputy Michael Collins said, sometimes it is done early in the morning or late at night. That is very unfair and can have an unsettling effect on families for the rest of their lives if it happens to them when they are young...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (12 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: Our country is at a crossroads when it comes to objectors. We have An Taisce. There are serial objectors throughout the country. People in places such as Mayo are objecting to developments in Kerry. First, the Government must withdraw funding from An Taisce. Second, the people who are objecting in this fashion should be obliged to pay for their objections. These objectors have inflicted...

Companies (Protection of Employees' Rights in Liquidations) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I too thank Deputy Boyd Barrett for bringing this Bill before us today and for his persistent representations on behalf of the Debenhams workers. He has done his utmost, his very best, during the past 12 months to highlight their case. Those Debenhams workers have been through the mill and, as was said, they were peaceful and honourable in their protest and all they sought was their rights,...

Residential Property Market: Motion [Private Members] (11 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for bringing forward this very important motion. The Ministers for Finance and Housing, Local Government and Heritage know as well as everyone else that these investment firms are bidding against young couples for single houses and blowing them out of the market. That is wrong. The Ministers are saying they are going to rectify it and I hope they do that because they...
