- Child Maintenance: Motion (22 Oct 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the opportunity to contribute on this important matter. I thank Sinn Féin, and specifically Deputy Brady, for moving this motion. As we all know, what starts out as a loving relationship between a young couple can often turn sour even before the birth of a baby. A young person can find himself or herself in a predicament very quickly, with a happy-go-lucky life turned...

- An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed) (22 Oct 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: If someone else has something to say about it, let him or her say it. That is what I am saying. 5 o’clock Provisional drivers have a serious problem because they cannot get to their apprenticeships or go to college. I ask the Taoiseach to reduce the age from 17, where the youngster gets a provisional licence, to 16 years of age. This is the case in many other countries. They...

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome all those in the Visitors Gallery who have been affected by this sad debacle. I thank the Taoiseach for apologising on behalf of the Government for the failures of the State and the health system which let down so many women, with their husbands, partners, children, parents, grandparents and siblings. I especially thank two women, Emma Mhic Mhathúna who has departed and Vicky...

Danny Healy-Rae: 445. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason meat factories are not honouring commitment given in September 2019 to set-aside injunctions and threats of legal penalties and costs in view of the fact it appears that nothing has been done by the meat factories to lift these threats; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Danny Healy-Rae: And the children's hospital.
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (16 Oct 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I too call for the lifting of the injunctions on these farmers in the spirit of the deal that was agreed. It is a shame that those people are still being threatened with an injunction. I point out that the price of beef has actually fallen in the past few weeks to €3.30 and €3.20 per kilogram. Farmers cannot survive on that. The quicker the Minister realises that, the...

- Health and Childcare Support (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019 [Seanad]: Second Stage (15 Oct 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: In the short time available, I hope that whatever agreement happens our health service does not get any worse. It could not be any worse. We are taking children to have their tonsils and eyes seen in the North. We are lucky to be able to do that. I had a very sad experience recently dealing with a nine year old child from another country who moved to Killarney. I had to take that nine...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Oct 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is a fact that it has been raining in County Kerry for at least seven weeks. Cattle have been housed for several weeks. Farmers in the North of Ireland, the other side of the ditch, may spread slurry when the weather is right. The land is drenched at the moment. Farmers want to be allowed to spread slurry legally such that they do not lose their single farm payments.
