Consultative Forum on International Security Policy Report: Statements (22 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about this issue because I am very hurt and out of sorts about what is taking place on the Muckross Road in Killarney this evening. Seventy-seven single male asylum seekers have arrived. When we are talking about wars and conflicts we seem to be getting more men, whether they are refugees or asylum seekers. We do not know where the women are. Are...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (22 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: Ireland seems to be taking in far more Ukrainian refugees than is any other European country. We seem to be far more generous with our social welfare payments and all the other benefits. There should be a uniform rate of social welfare payment across the European Union. I ask that all refugees and asylum seekers who arrive here without any documentation be asked to provide their original...

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: This is a very worrying situation that has affected everyone all over the world. People are outraged at what is going on and what has gone on. We welcome the word that has come through this morning that there is some breakthrough and that peace may be about to happen. We all hope and pray that it does happen. I condemn what has happened here since 7 October. I am neutral in the sense...

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I did not interrupt Deputy Murphy. All I will say to this fellow here and to the other fellow who is not here at all, Deputy Barry, is that if there was one shot fired in Youghal, Barry would be gone west, out the western end of Goleen, running like a hare because he is jumping up and down inside here-----

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Nitrates Usage (21 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Minister of State. It is unfortunate that, even as we speak, many farmers will go out of business in the next few years because their young fellas are not taking up dairy farming. They find it too difficult and the hours too long. The vilification of farmers and the cow is stopping young fellas from going into it. There is no encouragement. They feel like they are blamed for...

Danny Healy-Rae: Will the Minister of State do everything possible to defer the new nitrates derogation regime which is reducing from 250 kg N/ha to 220 kg N/ha? I am asking that it at least be paused or deferred for a period of time. As the Minister of State would know, coming as he does from a country area, farmers get their cows and heifers in calf by July at the latest so that they will be calving from...

Health Service Recruitment Freeze: Motion [Private Members] (21 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for bringing this motion. This motion is so important because our sick people and people with disabilities have been hurt by this embargo on filling positions, employing more home help workers and even funding the fair deal scheme. I place no blame on the Ministers of State but I blame the Minister for Health and the Government for the way they have behaved. The...

Health Service Recruitment Freeze: Motion [Private Members] (21 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I would appreciate that. I am not personalising anything but the Minister responsible need not walk out just because we were here. There is only one set of speakers after us and we deserve to be heard. He should listen to us the same as we had to listen to him. He made a speech at the start of the debate more or less saying there is nothing wrong with the health service. Well there is...

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (21 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the chance to speak on this important matter. The Bill is regarded as pivotal legislation in the ongoing effort to fine-tune risk equalisation credits and stamp duties within the private health insurance market. It does absolutely nothing, however, to reduce the cost of private health insurance. In fact, it is more about helping insurance companies than it is about doing...
