Inshore Fishing: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jan 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: I would give time to the Minister to answer that specific case because it will not take long. I will stop in time to allow the Minister to come in and answer that charge. Did his Department receive an application? If it did, why did it not provide the €300,000 required?

Inshore Fishing: Motion [Private Members] (25 Jan 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: I will give the Minister the time. I promise I will stop in time. The Minister boasted about the money he gave for piers in Donegal. There have been applications from County Kerry. A very small amount of money for our piers would help our fishermen to keep going. Kerry County Council put forward excellent proposal after proposal, but we have not received funding.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Commission on Taxation and Welfare Report: Discussion (25 Jan 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank the witnesses for giving their valuable time this evening. I appreciate what they have contributed so far. I have a couple of queries. In the first instance, we have heard of the broadening of the tax base. I appreciate, bcause of what we call the pensions ticking timebomb and all that that is, why a person of expertise and knowledge in this field would use the term...

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank Deputy Carthy and Sinn Féin for tabling this important motion. I was up in my office listening to the debate. It was ironic to hear the Minister of State criticising the motion her Government is going to support. If Deputy Carthy is going to accept that and not call a vote, the Rural Independent Group will call a vote on the motion on behalf of the people of Ireland, who are...

Forestry Sector: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: Wherever she went, she certainly did not answer the questions that day; just like she will not answer them here tonight. The Minister of State should not think she will shout me down. I have a couple of minutes to ask her a few questions. I remind her that in 1946 we had a person who was worse than her. It was that long ago. She is a failed Minister. God help the Green Party, God help...
