- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Climate Action Plan: Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment (19 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I need clarity on one thing. Is the Minister saying that people who burn turf or timber will not be penalised in future? Is the Minister saying that?

- National Minimum Wage (Protection of Employee Tips) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have this opportunity to speak in support of this Bill. I thank Sinn Féin for bringing it forward. It has always been my understanding that if someone gives a tip, it is for the waiter or the workers and not for management. It is for the staff. I have had no complaints in my county that anything other than that happens, but I hear it happens in other parts of the...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: This policy and indeed all the hullabaloo yesterday has frightened many people again in rural Ireland. There is a race between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil to see who would be greener than the Greens. The headline in the paper was that the Government wants to force private motorists out of their cars. I want to tell the Taoiseach that people in rural Ireland cannot manage without a car.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: A lot of the Government's ideas are ridiculous and so are its targets. There are 4.8 million people in Ireland, which equates to 0.06% of the world population. India and China equate to 40% of the world's population. If we were totally emissions free, it would only equal 0.13 of 1% in the worldwide context.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: At the same time, we are all living under the same sky. Why is the Government imposing and suggesting these targets for people, especially working families and farmers in rural Ireland?
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: Does the Government know it is frightening the daylights out of the people? It has already blackguarded them badly enough.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Jun 2019)

- Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: TAMS Administration (12 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: 206. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if the number of TAMS applications to be accepted will be increased in order to help young farmers in view of the fact that the TAMS grant scheme is oversubscribed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

- National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to speak for a couple of minutes on this very important topic. The Project Ireland 2040 plan and the millions or billions that will be spent in the meantime matter little to a particular lady who gets 20 minutes' home help and does not have anyone to cook her dinner. She is sick and tired of sandwiches and being showered. No one has time to cook a dinner...
- National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I ask the Ceann Comhairle to allow me a little latitude. If we were to comply and become completely emissions free, that would account for only 0.13% in a worldwide context. We are talking about bringing Ireland into line and the Government is trying to paralyse people in this country, but what about those in Japan and China who cannot see their belly buttons as a result of fog and smog? ...
- Northern Ireland: Statements (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute on this important matter. We speak about the North of Ireland, going back to our ancestors and history, and it should be a full part of our country. One objective that I share with many others is that we would again be one country under one all-Ireland government. In the context of Brexit, there are many possibilities that could have adverse...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: What the Minister is doing is not fair.
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jun 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: Small farmers and businesses, especially shop owners, have been waiting for a revised fair deal scheme for many years. The Minister of State at the Department of Health has announced that he will shortly bring forward this Bill, which was promised several times before. I will highlight what is wrong with the proposals the Minister of State will bring forward. The Department is still...
- Loss of Biodiversity and Extinction of Species: Statements (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to talk about this issue. Anything renewable or environmentally friendly will always be good but it must be practical for the people affected. If not, the country will be designated with no place left for people. Farmers must be compensated for land that is designated as a wild habitat. Many farmers have no problem with that if they are properly...
- Loss of Biodiversity and Extinction of Species: Statements (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: She is blaming the farmers, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, and they have got nothing to do with it.
