EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jul 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Thousands of decent and honest people from all over came to protest outside the gates of Leinster House today. They are very angry. They are already squeezed by the factories and if Brexit happens, they know they will be squeezed further.

If they have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Housing and Retrofitting: Discussion (10 Jul 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Mr. Manley is, therefore, confirming that the Department is prepared to allocate more funding where there is interest. The CBOs are crying out for funding. If they do not receive it, they will have to let go skilled people who have accumulated experience over 15 years. This is the first time it has happened. It is ironic-----

The longer the children are without assistance, their needs...

Danny Healy-Rae: I was first. I raise the important matter of the passenger motor car industry. The Society of the Irish Motor Industry has indicated that sales have decreased by 7.5% this year and it is blaming the Government's scaremongering on climate change. It is causing uncertainty and people are not buying cars like they were before. There is another issue-----

I appeal to the Minister to give Kerry County Council additional funding for this important...
