Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I cannot support the motion. While I have the height of regard and respect for Deputies Eamon Ryan and Catherine Martin of the Green Party, I do not agree with the motion they have put forward. It focuses on Dublin and touches on Galway, Cork and Limerick but there is a lot of territory beyond Limerick and Cork where people need their cars for transport. I agree with having more public...

Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (17 Apr 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to say a few words. Deputy Mattie McGrath seems to be sure that the end game is in sight with Brexit. I am not so sure that it is.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Apr 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I raised the fair deal scheme two weeks ago and referred to the slow rate at which funds were being made available to Cork and Kerry. The Minister denied there was a problem but it was in the newspapers yesterday and the leader of Fianna Fáil also raised it. That is because it is an issue. Hundreds of farmers came here yesterday. Where is the legislation for the fair deal for farmers...

Danny Healy-Rae: 9 o’clock I am glad to get the opportunity to talk again on the very important matter of insurance. It is such an issue with everyone.

Air Transport Preclearance Agreement: Motion (16 Apr 2019)

I suppose it does...
