Health (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (22 Mar 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this debate. The removal of the €80 charge, particularly for people who are ill on a regular basis, and sadly there are people who fall into that category, is welcome. This charge was a burden on them because for people who are ill, every euro is very important. I welcome the abolition of charges like this, especially for people who are...

Michael Healy-Rae: Prudence by the banks is welcome. However, what I would call prudent is not engaging in the stupidity bank managers did 20 years ago when a young couple went in seeking money for a house and were told they could also get money for a holiday, a car, black tarmacadam outside the door and big, steel gates that operated electronically. Prudence to me is cutting out that nonsense. I want the...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Stability Programme Update: Discussion (22 Mar 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: The funny thing about it is the Cathaoirleach is very seldom wrong but she is wrong about that and I will tell her why.

If people have signs up saying “We're backing brave” and they are not backing brave, for example, and...
