Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Preservation of the Biodiversity and Ecosystems of Peatlands: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I have a couple of questions on Bord na Móna and the loss of jobs. What consideration is being given to these 500 people who have lost or are about to lose their jobs? All Bord na Móna turf cutting is to cease by 2025 or 2026. What provision is being made for jobs for these people, since there is still peat to be had and a need for it for people who use it to heat houses? The...

National Surplus (Reserve Fund for Exceptional Contingencies) Bill 2018: Second Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am sorry to tell the Minister of State that I will not support the Bill. People in this generation are paying for the latest bank bailout. The Government is now getting ready for the next bank bailout and is asking this same generation to fund that bailout at the behest of the Central Bank. I do not know how the Government is tied to the pillar banks. Of the billions of euro the...

Juvenile Crime: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to contribute to the debate. We, as a society, cannot tolerate or condone crime by juveniles or others, especially serious crimes involving robbing or beating up elderly people. There is a case here of one rape; that is not to be tolerated. We cannot accept those kinds of things. People may criticise the Garda for not prosecuting these crimes, but...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (30 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I respectfully ask the Taoiseach and the Minister of State at the Departments of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Justice and Equality and Health, Deputy Finian McGrath, to ensure that the people from Down Syndrome Ireland who have children with Down Syndrome, get what they are looking for, namely, the extension of the July provision and to deal with the concerns raised by people on...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I never interrupted Deputy Brassil. That is the kind of blackguarding he is at. I represent the people of Kerry here. All Deputy Brassil is doing is interrupting me and that is not fair. There are parents and mothers out at 5 a.m. driving their sons and daughters to work or school. They are out again in the evening to bring them home and take them out to football training. They have to...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Taoiseach is hurting a lot of good people. We talk about deaths. Surely he knows about isolation and what it causes. We are losing a lot of people through suicide. That is a fact in Kerry and Cork, witnessed before, during and since Christmas. The Government promised to provide transport and promised plenty of funding for it. It has done nothing but hurt the people. The Government...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: -----regardless of what he asked it for and preventing a general election. I will tell the House one thing. Members of the Government should take Deputy Ross to the doorsteps with them when they go canvassing in the local election or the general election. He will get an answer whoever he travels with. One thing is sure; he will not be travelling with me.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: I too sympathise with the nurses who are on strike today. I ask the Taoiseach to ensure that they get properly paid and remunerated for the work they do. I again wish to raise the Road Traffic (Amendment) Act with the Taoiseach which has changed rural Ireland forever. The social fabric that was known to the people of rural Ireland has been blown to smithereens. Before, during and since...

No Consent, No Sale Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: They took my time, but it is all right. Like the other Deputies, I commiserate with the families in Donegal who lost their four lovely sons. It is very sad. I do not understand what is going on here at all. I am sure the same is true of anyone outside looking in here seeing what is going on. We debated a Bill to put money away in a rainy day fund and to make this generation suffer...

No Consent, No Sale Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jan 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: What is happening is terrible. These people went into a financial agreement with a bank, signed on the dotted line and, sadly, things have gone wrong for them. It is totally and absolutely wrong to allow the banks to sell their deal to some vultures in another country. It goes against the grain. I do not know if the Minister is after meeting a leprechaun or something. Half an hour ago...
