Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will be very brief. I have heard the talk all evening about water quality and nitrates. The nitrates mean farmers in trouble. I have been in here before talking about this subject. The nitrates derogation is impacting farmers who cannot meet the limit. A fellow with 58 cows who has sold ten cows is down to 48 cows. What focus is on local authorities where we do not have treatment...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: Why is it that it is only the farmer being targeted? Why is nothing being done at all about treatment plants and local authorities? I am not really blaming the local authorities because it is the Government at the end of the day that should provide the funding to them to rectify and remedy these plants that are not up to scratch and increase the capacity. Why are farmers having to suffer...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Jul 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: It feels like there is more focus on getting rid of the poor cows and a belief that will sort out the problem of deterioration in our water quality. I do not see the same focus by the Minster for the environment and the Minister for housing to rectify the situation. It is not possible to get permission for one more house in Moyvane village, which is a lovely satellite village about ten...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will make another point about this. This is working as far as the Ukrainians are concerned because people like the idea that they do not have to pay any more tax. These people are in the 52% bracket and they do not think it is worthwhile to do up the house, spend money or go to the trouble. The problem they have is that they cannot get people out. It is weighed totally against the...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (10 Jul 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity. First, I am very disappointed that Ursula von der Leyen has been endorsed by this Government for another term. This endorsement was led by our Tánaiste, even though each of the Fianna Fáil candidates who ran in the European elections promised the electorate that they would vote against her appointment for another term. What are they going to do...
