- Development of Primary Care: Statements (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to speak. We have a duty of care as elected representatives and must ensure all the people who present sick, ill or whatever get a fair and proper assessment and are dealt with in a professional way as soon as possible. The Government has published the national primary care plan. I do not give it much credence. I have listened to too many plans, reports...
- Rural and Community Development: Statements (Resumed) (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have this opportunity to speak on this important matter this evening. There has been much talk about rural Ireland since I was first elected. At the same time, with my hand on my heart, matters are not improving for rural Ireland. In fact, it is worse they are getting. The most effective way to help rural Ireland is jobs. Sadly, very few jobs are being directed to Kerry...
- Housing (Adaptation Grant for People with a Disability) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am grateful to have an opportunity to speak on this very important topic. I thank Fianna Fáil and Deputy O'Dea for giving us this opportunity. The housing adaptation grant is very important for people who need it. None of us knows the minute or the hour when someone belonging to us would become ill or disabled and it is very important that people can access the housing adaptation...
- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: A Programme for a Partnership Government contains a reference to the housing shortage on page 19. We all know what is happening in respect of housing. There are people in Kerry who are being deprived of the right to build their own houses on their own land by one serial objector. In all of these cases, Kerry County Council had granted planning permission. However, the objector in question...

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the officials for coming before the committee and for their presentation which is very important. I also thank them for all of the great work they are doing. I need to highlight a few things that need to be done in the vicinity of Killarney and the national park. While the national park in Killarney is a massive attraction for the town, Kerry and the whole south of Ireland, there...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Statement of Strategy 2018 to 2020 and Project Ireland 2040: Discussion (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: The local authority has no remit on this road. It cannot go into it at all. I am asking the National Parks and Wildlife Service to see to this because people are driving on it and walking, but it is a hazard and needs to be addressed. Another matter about which I am very concerned is the burning that took place in the national park this year. Some years ago, when I was on Kerry County...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Statement of Strategy 2018 to 2020 and Project Ireland 2040: Discussion (29 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: There are hedges along our roads which need to be cut for the safety of everyone that uses the roads. I have no problem with hedges in the countryside and I have built hedges in my own land. I like hedges, and that is the gospel truth. However on roadsides which are in the remit of the National Parks and Wildlife Service will have to be cut. The Department should in no way prevent...

- Vulture Funds: Motion [Private Members] (28 May 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to speak on this important matter. I thank Deputy Mattie McGrath for doing so much work in the background to get this Private Members' business up and running. I regret the sarcastic attack that the Minister made on us because we are raising this issue. He says that we do not have a monopoly, which we do not. We have an understanding and the Government...
