- Order of Business (12 Jun 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: A week ago this evening, in Cahersiveen, more than 500 people attended a meeting on the same issue, looking for their Garda station to be manned and open 24 hours a day and looking for more gardaí to address anti-social behaviour, which recently culminated in a murder in their town. The Taoiseach said in the programme for Government that he would open six new Garda stations. I am...
- Order of Business (12 Jun 2018)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Multi-Annual Financial Framework after 2020: European Commission (12 Jun 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Ms Brown for attending this Oireachtas meeting and for being informative. In the part of Ireland I represent, small farmers and part-time farmers must be protected. There would be no life to be had in very rural regions if farmers were not compensated or given funding. They have depended on the funding they have received over the years from the EU. I certainly hope their support...

Danny Healy-Rae: 260.

- Questions on Promised Legislation (30 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Taoiseach and the Government have been advocating that Irish emigrants should return home to complement the workforce. However, many cannot start work once they return home because, for example, they have fallen sick before finding employment. They are being denied the jobseeker's allowance, carer's allowance and the disability allowance. Even though they have spent the majority of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Bus Services: Discussion (30 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister thinks he is from rural Ireland.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Bus Services: Discussion (30 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister is being dishonest. He is now trying to say the extra Rural Link runs have nothing to do with the road traffic legislation he is trying to push through the Dáil, which will isolate so many in rural areas. Both Minister and Deputy Heydon stood up in the Dáil and said the initiative was to counteract rural isolation. This was a reactionary attempt by them when we...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Bus Services: Discussion (30 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is not mine. I have to start again now. One of the services in Kerry that the Government made such a hullabaloo about was to take people from Castlegregory to Cloghane to a card game one Tuesday in the month for ten months. Clearly, this is not any part of the pilot scheme because the Minister is saying the pilot scheme is for six months. The initiative I am referring to is for ten...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Bus Services: Discussion (30 May 2018)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Bus Services: Discussion (30 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister was coming in to Castleisland when he rang me. I cannot jump like that just because the Minister cocks his finger and says "I am here in Kerry, come on." That was the first I knew about it.

Danny Healy-Rae: If the Vice Chairman keeps interrupting me, I will never get out of it. I want to get out of this meeting too because I have other things to do. There are 25 missed calls on my phone. I just want to deal with this. Will the Minister-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Bus Services: Discussion (30 May 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: Clearly, the Minister does not know what is going on in Kerry or in any part of rural Ireland. The Minister paid €1,343,304 to a US company to provide transport solutions for I do not know where, but it was not for Kerry. He will also pay €450,000 for transport for the whole of the country. Come on, Minister. He also gave out €544,000 in 2017 for incidental expenses.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rural Bus Services: Discussion (30 May 2018)
