- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: All right but I have a number of questions about a car that is 14 years old. How will that be allowed and who is regulating the country now? Where are we?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: Chairman, can I just ask one other question? If somebody wants to get a hackney or taxi licence in Kerry at the present time he will have to provide a wheelchair accessible taxi. How can this carry-on be allowed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Taxis and Rural Transport Programme: Discussion (27 Feb 2019)

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

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: He has been called a lot of other names too. No more or less than he has called a lot of us.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the witnesses for coming in. We all know the value of Local Link and the services it has provided for many years. We appreciate it very much where it has done much for elderly people in rural places. We are talking about a separate matter altogether, though, which is what has transpired since the enactment of this very draconian Bill put in place late last year, particularly its...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Chairman must not have been listening at the start.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I again recognise there are many services and Local Link operated many of them prior to 2018. At the request of the Minister and his junior Minister, who were under pressure, as well as Deputy Heydon and others, there was a big story that a pilot scheme would be provided. The truth will always come out about what we got in Kerry. We got eight extra services, and one of them is once per...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: There is a lot of talk about operating these services at night. Rural Ireland is different from Dublin and many other places, including Cork city. In the mornings we do not have Luas, DART or bus services to transport us to work. There are many people who are isolated at the moment. They cannot even go to pubs anymore because many have closed already. People cannot have a social drink at...

- Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2019: Second Stage (26 Feb 2019)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get an opportunity to talk about this important Bill. Among every section of every community in Ireland, nothing gives rise to concern as much as Brexit, which now has been talked about for almost two years. The various groups affected are so concerned. These include farmers, the self-employed and small companies exporting to the North and to Britain. The one issue that does...

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Feb 2019)
