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

Danny Healy-Rae: I suppose the Taoiseach is aware that a €5 million contract was lost recently. A Libyan cattle buyer who wanted to buy 400 bulls had applied for a visa in mid-November to come to this country to see what he was buying. To date, he has been given no account of the status of his visa. He has now gone to Spain to purchase these animals. Previous taoisigh and Ministers for justice and...

Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: This was to be a hospital for all the country but now we see that it will just be a hospital for Dublin. The only way in is by bicycle or for fit people to walk. No helicopter can land at the site. What happened that led to the price being wrong? We told the Government in March 2017 that the cost would escalate beyond belief. One example of a reason why is that 100 lorries have to take...

Danny Healy-Rae: The protection of farmers' incomes featured strongly in the programme for Government. Farmers' incomes, however, are now at a new low. The price for sucklers and beef is at a new low. Can the Taoiseach explain why beef or cattle make more in the North of Ireland or on mainland England while at the same time we are being told that beef is coming into Germany and Italy in return for those...

Danny Healy-Rae: -----the churches will be closed soon. I will not say where but gardaí held up a poor man coming from church two weeks ago. After he had struggled to put his poor wife into the car, they asked him to blow into a bag. When he asked whether they thought people were drinking inside the church, they replied that he could have been drinking the previous night. He told them he had not been...

Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Feb 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have this opportunity to contribute on this important matter. I thank Fianna Fáil for highlighting the anomaly that arises in estates where residents to have to pay twice to live in whatever house or apartment they are in. The property tax is a contentious matter in some areas, especially in rural areas where homeowners do not get much in return for paying it, not even...

Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Feb 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: They are getting away with it so far. We have a problem in rural villages and towns where business people and those who pay commercial rates and property tax have to fight hard to keep even the street lights lit or the streets swept. More often than not it is very hard to get the local authorities to attend to some of these villages. They are doing their best with the limited resources...

Management Fees (Local Property Tax) Relief Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (19 Feb 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: The relevance of it is that people are being asked to pay property tax. They are told they cannot drink a pint or eat a bit of meat, that they would be better off to cycle or to walk, and that they should leave the turf in the bog regardless of whether they get cold. That is truth of it. They are told not to cut the briars and let them meet in the middle of road to avoid upsetting the...

Danny Healy-Rae: There also is a concern about insects. We are also being told to get rid of the cattle and save the foxes. We had a horrible situation last week where a hunt group collected money for the Irish Cancer Society and, lo and behold, that group was told that, because its members were killing foxes, the man in charge of that committee would not take the funds for the poor people that it might...

Danny Healy-Rae: -----but they may have the smile on the other side of their face when they will go knocking on the doors looking for a number one for the council or for the general election because people are breaking under it all and they are very hurt and angry. They are being asked to pay all of these taxes and are being stopped from doing the things they would have done traditionally over the years....
