Danny Healy-Rae: Sorry. I want to reiterate the concern of many that disability would be a reason for an abortion. Down's syndrome can be diagnosed at nine weeks. We know that these children bring many people much joy, especially their parents, siblings and extended families. Many families love and cherish these children who in some people's eyes might not be 100% perfect although they are 100% perfect...

Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise an important issue whereby couples who earn more than €31,500 are not allowed onto the housing waiting list in Kerry. The maximum net income for any family in this regard is €35,000, beyond which they are out of eligibility for housing supports of any kind such as housing assistance payment, HAP, or rent allowance. At €35,000, or even at €37,000...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am not happy either with the attacks made by other Members on us in the media to the effect that we were holding up the debate. I have spoken only at minimum length to raise my concerns in the context of the amendment. Many people have said to me, and I meet a lot of people in the course of my constituency work, that they are concerned about the state of our health service and the way in...
- Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (Gender Pay Gap Information) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Nov 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to talk about this Bill. It is very important because for far too long women have been treated unfairly. The further back we go, the worse it was for women. It is only right that where women are doing the same work as men, they should be paid the same. That inequality has existed for far too long, and I am glad to have the opportunity to support the...

Danny Healy-Rae: Last week, we heard of massive amounts of jobs coming to Dublin. So much was promised in the programme for Government on jobs in rural Ireland but I have to point out that from Kenmare to Sneem, Waterville and Cahersiveen door after door has been closed in recent times and there are no new jobs. In one school in Cahersiveen only two children presented to be enrolled this year. I ask the...

Danny Healy-Rae: All they have had in recent years is a bit of a boost in tourism but nothing by the way of new jobs, be they industrial, commercial or what have you. I appeal on behalf of the entire Iveragh Peninsula. It is decimated.

- Microgeneration Support Scheme Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Nov 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to speak on this important Bill. It is not for the reasons that other people have because I do not believe in climate change. The climate changes but not for the reasons that people say. The climate has changed over the centuries, and always has, including when there were few mechanical vehicles or use of oil to cause it. However, I realise that we need...
- Microgeneration Support Scheme Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Nov 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: In the 1920s and 1930s, the town of Kenmare had its own electricity, generated by a turbine in the Sheen River. We could do many things. I remind Deputies that there were salmon in the rivers at the time and there are not now. There is no doubt that there were salmon in the rivers at that time. We could certainly do more to produce more energy, similar to the people who came before us....
- Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report Stage (27 Nov 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I too have concerns about where the funding for this will come from because many aspects of our health service are being let down at present due to the lack of funding. For the greater part of this year, University Hospital Kerry has been suffering because we cannot pay nurses properly. Likewise, we cannot pay consultants properly in University Hospital Kerry. People who cannot pay for hip...
