Heritage Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the Bill and the extension of hedge-cutting time to include the month of August and burning time to include the month of March. Farmers in Northern Ireland are allowed burn until 15 April and, as there is only a ditch between the North and the South, it does not make much sense for farmers here to have to cease by the end of February. Many Februarys have been wet and farmers could...

Urban Regeneration and Housing (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk on this matter this evening. I believe that most people who get up in the morning want to do right and they mean well but I have concerns about putting compulsory purchase orders, CPOs, on land or taking land off people. I am worried about that because if land was handed down or had to be bought at a high price, it may not be fair to take it off...

Establishment of Special Joint Committee on Climate Action: Motion (3 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: My views on climate change are well known since my days on Kerry County Council before I ever came to Dáil Éireann. The climate has changed going back over the centuries when there were no fossil fuels and when there was a very limited number of cows, which are being blamed now for the change in the climate. When the weather is wet or rainy, the scientists are blaming what we are...

Establishment of Special Joint Committee on Climate Action: Motion (3 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: Is the Government going to paralyse the working people and farmers? Is this talking shop going to be about how to do that? When we get flooded the story is that it is climate change and we will do nothing about it. What the Government is not doing anything about is allowing farmers to clear the rivers. Let us be honest about it. Water has to rise if the rivers are blocked and choked,...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Environmental Impact of Fiscal Instruments: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I would like to see them coming in here more because I am afraid that they will do something to the haulage industry without realising the harm they are doing or that they may do. The witnesses have explained it simply. The amount the haulage industry contributes to the Exchequer should be mentioned. It is vital for bringing our goods to places as far away as Cahersiveen and...

There are fellows around this place who need to hear the witnesses talking. The witnesses should continue the wonderful job they are doing until. They have all the facts. That is what we need to tell the people who want to change the world and who think they...

Order of Business (3 Jul 2018)

Order of Business (3 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: When the Tánaiste was the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, he told farmers to increase production of milk. He even told the farmers that the Chinese population would drink it. All farmers now, however, are in a tight corner. I ask the Tánaiste, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Creed, and the Government to secure feed from abroad for this...
