Financial Resolution No. 2: Excise - Mineral Oil Tax (13 Oct 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I do not subscribe to this notion of climate change. The climate changed going back through the pages of history. I will not go into that but it is a fact and it is well known. This is a savage attack on people in rural Ireland who own a car, maybe an old one, although it has been tested and is legally on the road. It is an attack on old people who have no other way of heating their homes...

Financial Resolutions 2020 - Budget Statement 2021 (13 Oct 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk on this very important budget. While I welcome the €4 billion pledged to the health services, one wonders how and where it will be spent and, most important, whether we will get the beds they say we will get. I have only to start with Killarney. Instead of getting more beds in our Killarney Community Hospital or in St. Columbanus Community...

Danny Healy-Rae: An economic research body based in Germany has forecast in its latest publication that Ireland could lose over 35,000 jobs in companies directly or indirectly involved with exporting to the UK in the event of a no-deal Brexit. The majority of these jobs are in rural areas. They have been badly affected as it is, without being hurt any further. The part of the country that I come from and...

Pre-European Council Meeting on 15 and 16 October: Statements (7 Oct 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: In the short time I have, I want to highlight and make sure that our agriculture industry will not be compromised in any way following the break-up of the UK and the European Union. As we are an island nation and there may be tariffs to go through England, we must ensure that we have direct access from Ireland to mainland France by ferry or whatever to ensure that we have ample ways of...

Danny Healy-Rae: The Taoiseach's demeanour and attitude and his answers yesterday when questioned about the cross-border directive and allowing people to go to the North of Ireland to get their cataracts removed were totally unacceptable. He talks about building something in Cork to deal with this problem. He is saying that he will not allow the cross-border directive to continue but how is there such a...

Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment: Motion [Private Members] (7 Oct 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad of the opportunity to raise the PUP as pubs, restaurants and many businesses in Kerry have been closed down again since last night. I am glad to see Deputy Griffin is in the Chamber. County Kerry should not have been closed down at all, as our numbers are very low and there are many other counties that also have very low figures and which also should not have been closed. Since...

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for facilitating this important debate this evening.

In County Kerry at present - it is likewise around the country but we know about our own county - many day care centres that were closed because...

Covid-19 (Arts): Statements (6 Oct 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I only have a short time but I could talk about this for the whole evening.

Sliabh Luachra, Nickie McAuliffe, Derry Healy, Neily O'Connor and others play music for free at events for the elderly. I had the pleasure of playing for an elderly woman the other night,...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Oct 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: Rural pubs in Kerry and other businesses are to be closed again after 12 midnight tonight. On the Order of Business last week, I told the Taoiseach I knew the Government was going to close them down again even though we have very small numbers in places like Kerry and along the west coast and it does not merit a closure. I and a lot of people also knew that Dublin was not going to be let...
