- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: What is the Department going to do? Will the TB injections be stronger? Will there be a stronger dose? Is that going to happen?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am referring to the way the Department detects it. Is the skin test going to be stricter or stronger? What is the plan?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: The witnesses mentioned the cost to the Department and the Exchequer. It is also a cost to the farmer. We contend that the farmer did not create this problem. The Department says it will be a better test. What was wrong with the testing that was done all along?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: Some farmers have gone down in recent months and they are being told that if they are selling cattle in future, as far away as three years down the line, their name will appear on the screen in the mart, which will reduce the number of people who will buy from them. Is that going to happen?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: TB Eradication Programme: Discussion (18 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: That would be after two clear tests. It is horrible.
- Select Committee on Agriculture and Food: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Further Revised) (18 Jun 2025) Danny Healy-Rae: They are clear, but the market will be limited. They can go to the factory. Purchasers will see a farmer has a record, the same as if a person broke the law 20 years ago and wanted to get a job as a schoolteacher or something. How long will that stay on a farmer's record?
- Emergency Action on Housing and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (17 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about housing again. This is a crisis. Everyone recognises that it is a crisis. I am not one bit happy that landlords or homeowners are being blamed for what is happening in the rental sector. Every site seems to be pointing at people who own houses and are trying to rent them out. I point out that I do have no house only my own. There are many...
- Finance (Local Property Tax and Other Provisions) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (17 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about this Bill. It relates to an important topic. People talk a good deal about local property tax, especially those who cannot ill-afford to pay it and who are often in trouble. It gives those people who are living hand to mouth and who barely have enough to cover the cost of everything, from putting food on the table to keeping their heat or...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: The cost of building a new house is somewhere around €400,000 for a young couple or whomever. One third of the actual building cost comprises VAT, other taxes and levies. Will the Government consider doing anything about that? Would it be possible to increase the first-time buyers grant if people were incentivised to build smaller houses, like we used to do in the 1970s and...
- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: The waiving of the levy is gone now.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the Merchants Alliance and the other two groups to the meeting. I hear what they are asking and they are being very fair. I know Mr. O'Shea very well. He has been coming to Kenmare and providing a service at the mart for many years, as well as other places. He and his likes are appreciated by the farmers. When a farmer gets up in the morning, he will have 100 different jobs to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: Where is this coming from? Who is initiating it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I do not mind pointing the finger or being told who is the cause of it. I am all for fairness. I believe these people have provided a valuable service to small farmers throughout Kerry and beyond and I support their continuation and will continue to do so.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food: Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion (11 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Cathaoirleach. From all the interchanges there, I resent very much the assertion made by the Department official, Ms Garvan, which insinuated that farmers would not know the dose they should be giving to their animals. As a farmer for many years, I know what kind of dose the man would have wanted. In my case, I would go to the likes of Terence O'Shea for an animal dose or...
- Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: Air Safety (11 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: 47. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views following the recent disclosure in the Sunday papers that dozens of flights of an airline (details supplied) were grounded due to widespread GPS failure; if he or his Department are concerned about this; and the repercussions that will occur if this were to happen mid-flight; and if he will make a statement on the matter....
- Vacant Council Housing: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Deputy Gould and Sinn Féin for tabling this very important motion. There is no shadow of a doubt that houses in the local authorities are taking too long to turn around. There was one house in Killarney I fought tooth and nail over. From the day it first came up here, it took over five years to get that house in Marian Terrace turned around. There was vermin and everything...
- Vacant Council Housing: Motion [Private Members] (10 Jun 2025)
Danny Healy-Rae: He is ambitious but I do not think he will bring it down to that. He is a good man and he is trying his best but it will not happen if we are here until-----
