Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Workforce Planning in the Mental Healthcare Sector: Discussion (20 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Deputy Durkan raised this issue as well. I am concerned about the kind of universal treatment received by people with mental health issues. They all seem to be given the same kind of antidepressant that slows down their movements, which is very upsetting for the parents of 16, 17, and 18 year olds. They immediately recognise that this is the same treatment given to people in their late 30s...

Personal Assistance Service: Motion (19 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to speak on this important topic. I thank Deputy Pringle and his group for putting forward the motion for debate. I also thank Senator Dolan for all he has done in his role as a Senator and in the years prior to that to help people with disabilities to have as normal a life as possible. I only have a short amount of time. Many people with disabilities...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I want to add my weight and call on the Government to ensure people in places like Milltown can have a GP service. To give the Taoiseach an idea of the area, there are 8,000 people in that catchment area and Milltown is the heart of mid-Kerry. If we cannot keep a GP in Milltown, there is no hope that outlying places around the coast of Kerry will have a GP of their own. The...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: We need a full-time GP service in Milltown, full stop.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Where are they? Are they in Dublin?

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Taoiseach is wrong.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: What does the Tánaiste have to say about the comments of a Minister of State, Deputy D'Arcy, who said gardaí had let down the people living in Border counties? Does the Tánaiste realise the Government let down gardaí there by not giving them resources such as Garda cars and cutting overtime? Rank and file gardaí throughout the country were hurt by the comments made...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government is putting it down.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: The people having the two or three drinks in rural Ireland did not cause the fatalities. The statistics for this year prove that in spite of the new law accidents and fatalities have increased. It is not the people in rural Ireland who have caused that. I ask again that the Government to probe the idea that the Garda would give permits to people who are rurally isolated for class three and...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: It will not work because the Government will not try it.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Where are all the buses that the Government is putting on the road? Where are they?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to make the Tánaiste aware of the harm the Government and the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, supported by Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and many others in the Dáil, have done to the social fabric of rural Ireland and especially rural Kerry. He has closed down most of County Kerry and made smithereens of the social fabric people traditionally...

Provision of Accommodation and Ancillary Services to Applicants for International Protection: Statements (13 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get an opportunity to talk on this topic. We have had direct provision centres in Killarney and Kenmare for many years. Many of these people have come and gone. They have moved on. I have a problem when too many of them are crammed in together, which is something I have seen. Some of the situations are very tough. Problems arise when a whole family is put into a room. The...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (13 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Deputy Mattie McGrath said somebody would be killed. In County Kerry several people have been killed, while others have been maimed and injured. It is not good enough that roads are infested with deer, many of which are roaming into towns and villages, with no law and order being enforced. When they cause an accident, no one claims ownership of them, but if somebody shoots one of them,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion (13 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the officials from the Department, Mr. Healy and the other representatives of the IFA in attendance. As we are all well aware, this matter has been ongoing for several years. I call the fair deal scheme for farmers the lousiest deal in the world. They are being militated against and a bush has been put in their way to access the fair deal. So much wrong has been done to them...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion (13 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am very interested in the answer to the question about company value and other businesses aside from family farms.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion (13 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Wherever people are cutting bushes, they are putting them in the gaps anyway.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion (13 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I want to get an answer to the question I asked about a farmer who purchases more land and has borrowings on that or who has maybe borrowed the whole value, as happens. Is the value of that borrowed farm taken into account or will it continue to be taken into account and assessed if new provisions are made for farmers?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion (13 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: That is wrong as well. It is wrong that this will be calculated as part of the assessment. We know farmers have done their best through the generations to hand the farm on to the next generation in as good or better condition as when they got it in the first place. Insisting that someone who accesses the fair deal scheme must pay back €7,500 on each €100,000 of the value of...
