Civil Law and Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I also support this amendment. As an elected representative for Kerry and rural people, it would be remiss of me not to support this amendment. In doing so, I am supporting ordinary working people who may be in trouble with their houses and before the courts because vulture funds are trying to evict them. It would be remiss of me to neglect a farmer whose land may be taken from him. I...

Danny Healy-Rae: That is fine.

Civil Law and Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Second Stage (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I too wish the Minister well in her new post. She is very fit. I saw her running to the Chamber yesterday evening and it was no bother to her at all. I will, however, be opposing and voting against this Bill because I am very worried about parts of it. This new Bill is dressed up to look as if it only deals with issues to help us deal with Covid-19. Centuries of legislation will, however,...

Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Covid-19) Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I too wish to raise the plight of the publicans in places such as Kilgarvan, Barraduff, Rathmore, Gneeveguilla, Scartaglin, and Cordal. Very few pubs are opened in Castleisland. Other places include Knocknagoshel and Brosna, Currow, Fieries and Ballyfinnane. So much of that entire countryside is still in lockdown, as such. There are two aspects to the issue. There are the publicans,...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I want to highlight the plight of carers of people with physical and mental disabilities. Elderly parents who are caring for their grown-up children have no access to day care centres or respite. It is the same for carers of people with Alzheimer's disease. The Rockmount centre in my own town of Kilgarvan, a wonderful facility caring for people with that disease, is closed. These carers...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Tánaiste for his reply. I highlight as well that very recently we lost 45 jobs in Kenmare when Jam closed its outlet. In the tourism industry we have lost hundreds of jobs: bus drivers, pub workers and many others. I ask the Government to probe urgently the following possibility. The Tánaiste has said he is doing this, but I ask the Government to leave no stone...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: There is a serious jobs crisis in Kerry. I wish to raise the closure of BorgWarner in Tralee. This bombshell occurred a couple of days ago and took the workers and the town of Tralee by surprise. It was akin to the bombing of Pearl Harbour. I thank the Tánaiste for already showing an interest in this serious issue. I must explain that this amount of jobs being lost in Kerry, which...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: School Staff (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: It gives me great pleasure to have the opportunity to ask a question of my former colleague from Kerry County Council, on which we worked together hand in hand for the people of Kerry, for the first time as Minister. It has to do with the hiring of teachers who may be asked to work in different schools. This also affects other workers. Surely the one Garda vetting process should do. Under...

Written Answers — Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: 90. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the steps being taken to assist those over 66 years of age that have businesses but due to age restriction were unable to claim the pandemic unemployment payment; the way in which they will be compensated in view of financial commitments they may have in view of the July stimulus; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written Answers — Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection: Covid-19 Pandemic Supports (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: 767. To ask the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the steps being taken to assist the seasonal workers that were not working in March 2020 and therefore unable to claim the pandemic unemployment payment and that are still not working in view of the fact many seasonal businesses did not reopen; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20328/20]

Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (29 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: Would it not be more appropriate if the period assessed for employers to qualify for the wage subsidy scheme was the period of the lockdown, from whenever it was to whenever the hotels got back working again? Would it not be more appropriate to look at that period rather than the period from when they opened a couple of weeks ago for the rest of this year? What is happening does not make an...

Financial Provisions (Covid-19) (No. 2) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (29 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I have already spoken privately to the Minister regarding problems with the payment. Some people who were not working between 6 and 13 March do not receive the payment and I do not believe they will. They are seasonal workers. If the lockdown had not happened for a few more weeks, they would have been covered. Bus drivers at a standstill in January and February are not being helped by the...
