- Nurses' and Midwives' Pay and Recruitment: Motion [Private Members] (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad of the opportunity to talk on this important matter. Nurses are under severe pressure in University Hospital Kerry, Killarney Community Hospital, Kenmare and Dingle hospitals and Bantry General Hospital, to which many people from our side of the country go. I remember only too well the intensive care unit of Tralee general hospital as my father was there for many weeks. The night...
- Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am concerned by the way the debate is going. What Deputy Tóibín is raising is not connected to what we are trying to do. The Bill is about extending the burning time by one month and extending the cutting time in August by one month. I do not agree with what he said about roadside hedges. No bird is foolish enough to make a nest on the side of a busy road and every road is...

- Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I agree with the reasons that the Minister gave for extending the burning season for the month of March. I agree because those are the very reasons that I stated so many times when I was a member of Kerry County Council and since I was elected a Deputy and became a member of this committee. I agree with the Minister 100%. I do not have the time to go through it all and I shall not because...
- Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I depend on them to obey the rules and regulations. The way the system has been set up for the past number of years has meant that they could not burn in March. However, they could not burn during February because the areas were drowned in water. There has been a lot of rain this year but we hope the weather will improve next year. In terms of uncontrolled burning, it was not all done...
- Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

- Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Government has not given farmers a few extra bob to assist with the fodder crisis. Where will the Government get the money? We are not leprechauns and we cannot provide money like that for farmers.
- Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (25 Apr 2018)

- Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: On the health of our elderly people, the lack of home help is still a serious problem in Kerry. I know it is an ambition of everyone in this Chamber to ensure that each old person is helped to stay in his or her own home as long as possible. However, we do not have enough home help hours for patients or the elderly in our county. At weekends and on Saturdays and Sundays, it is impossible...

- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise two matters regarding the lack of infrastructure in Kerry. On the N70 road to the west of Blackwater Bridge, on the Kenmare to Sneem road, there is a 4 km section between Foley’s Bend and the west of Tahilla Church where two large vehicles cannot pass when they meet each other. It is not safe. A lorry or bus and one car cannot pass each other but have to reverse....
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: Will the Minister of State, Deputy Griffin, or the Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Moran, provide the funding to raise the road for people's safety? It is not fair on people that they have to get through salt water. The road can be blocked for up to a week at a time. Will the Government ensure funding is made available for these worthwhile projects?
