Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (13 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: People need clarity. They are very concerned. This could adversely affect the self-catering industry in Kerry, which is a tourist county. What is happening? What is the Department doing to people? People are very upset and anxious. There will be a meeting tonight in Listowel on this issue and another in the coming days in Killarney. All around the county, people are organising and...

National Children's Hospital: Motion [Private Members] (12 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I believe this is the biggest single scandal that ever happened in this country. In March 2017, our group told the Government that this was going to happen. Many of the members of parties, who are jumping up and down now, voted against our motion when we asked that the hospital be moved out to some greenfield site. They voted against our motion and now they are jumping up and down as to...

Civil Law (Presumption of Death) Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (12 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to say a few words in support of the Bill. As we all know, for as long as we can remember, sadly, people have gone missing and at a certain stage can be deemed definitely dead or presumed dead. I refer especially to those girls in the midlands and indeed the young child in the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's county, Mary Boyle. We all remember them and the people...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is now clear the debacle of the national children's hospital spending overrun is having a devastating affect on many projects around the country. Kerry has already been hit. A sewerage scheme requested and promised for 15 years has again been put back until next year. The problem is that the scheme is to be laid along the road from Kilcummin to Killarney and the road cannot be...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I asked the Taoiseach what he would do about the factories, the unfairness, and the rules and regulations that are hurting farmers. I have asked him many times in the Chamber but it looks as though he just does not get it or understand what is happening. The farming community is at a crossroads, as are all those who supply them or depend on them because when farmers go bad, the rest of the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise the plight of beef and suckler farmers countrywide. This vital industry is at a critical crossroads because farmers are not covering their costs. This cannot continue. There are two contributing factors. First, factories have a monopoly and are not paying farmers properly or fairly for the high standard of animals being produced and, second, not enough live exports are...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Mar 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: It was not amusing to hear Deputy Murphy asking the Taoiseach to change the entire Dublin Bus fleet. Outside the Red Cow and indeed in all of rural Ireland, since the ramming through of the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act 2018, to please the Minister, Deputy Ross, people in rural Ireland are angered and frustrated like never before, young and old. Provisional drivers who are waiting for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is clear that this exercise, meeting and the antics proposed today are intended to counteract the bad publicity and reaction in rural Ireland following the introduction of the Minister's Bill which was supported by most Oireachtas Members. It is no wonder that there is outrage and uproar around rural Ireland. Local and European elections are coming and candidates are getting it in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: There is not much melody in rural Ireland at the present time. What is being proposed here is absolutely ridiculous. What is being proposed is some additional type of hackney service. There is some ridiculous idea that there will be boundaries and these new vehicles will only operate within a certain boundary. Who is going to be policing these boundaries? If someone wants to go to the...
