Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Student Accommodation (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister will appreciate that we, in Kerry, have serious problems with students finding accommodation in places like Limerick and Cork. What can he do and what will he do in the future? More importantly this year, what can be done for all these students who do not have a place in Limerick and Cork today?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Student Accommodation (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: Of course, I welcome what has happened in Tralee. However, I am talking about students who do not have accommodation in Cork and Limerick today. For whatever reason their courses are in those colleges at this time. They are travelling by bus. They cannot drive themselves because they cannot get a driving test in Kerry - it is an impossibility. The leaving cert results come out too late....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Student Accommodation (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...We have to do something to help these students. It is a reality and is happening today. Talking about Tralee, that is next year and down the line. These students have courses in Limerick and Cork at present and are finding it very difficult. I ask the Minister to do something to provide access to accommodation for these people who have applied for on-campus accommodation and cannot...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Car Testing: Discussion (20 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...have distances to travel. It is not good enough for young lads who need a licence to go to work or to travel long distances to college because they cannot not get places to rent in Limerick or Cork to apply last January and be told their test will be next January. These young lads are driving distances because they must travel from remote areas in the hills and glens of Kerry. Perhaps...

Matters Arising in RTÉ: Statements (4 Jul 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Kerry. I will not list all the names but I know each and every one of them and thank them from the bottom of my heart for what they are doing for the people of Kerry and indeed the people of west Cork and the surrounding areas. However, we are here to talk about RTÉ. We are talking about taxpayers' money and the licence fee that people pay. I am questioning what they are getting...

Education Costs: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (20 Jun 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...one, two or three children. The costs mount as the numbers increase. It is very difficult for some of these parents to meet the bills they must pay. Additionally, accommodation costs in Limerick and Cork are exorbitant. Can we imagine that students from Kerry were driving up and down to Cork and Limerick during the last fall of the year when they could not get accommodation at all or...

Nature Restoration Law and Irish Agriculture: Statements (31 May 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...who had to work and drain their land to make it productive who will be hurt. We cannot flood fertile land. We cannot flood the plains of County Kildare, the Golden Vale in County Tipperary, east Cork or Limerick, but the Government will try to do it in south and north Kerry, which Deputy Michael Healy-Rae mentioned. The poor farmers slave day and night in their fields alone, and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Revitalising Derelict and Vacant Homes on Farmland: Discussion (17 May 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...feasible to put €2,000 on it at that time, it should be €20,000 now. In all fairness, it should be a hundred times more than it is. On the levies, Senator Lombard said there are no levies for things you do not get in Cork. Maybe that is so, but his comrades in Kerry voted to put a levy for playgrounds, whether you were from a farm in Gneevgullia, Beaufort, Killorglin or...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Tax Code (18 Apr 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to build social housing on. We have been advocating for that for years. This residential zoned land tax was designed and brought in to deal with speculators and would-be developers in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and other cities, but sadly there are plenty of other places to build in or around Killarney without doing this terrible deed to people and making them pay this tax. Some of them have...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Housing for All: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (18 Apr 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ..., the houses are there but people just will not let them for that kind of money and put themselves in jeopardy of not getting them back. We could do much more about the empty houses we have in our areas. It may different up here in Dublin, down in Cork or in Waterford where the Senator comes from. We have another problem, namely, planning permission for young couples or young fellows...

Environmental Protection Agency (Emergency Electricity Generation) (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (7 Mar 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...other places, but the Government is against that. The Taoiseach stopped the offshore licences for drilling for gas off the Kerry coast in 2019. The Government is against drilling for oil off the Cork coast, even though we have it. It wants us to stop cutting the bit of turf we always cut to put into the fire. I am cutting it and will continue to do so, as my people before me did, in...

Danny Healy-Rae: ...are happy, I am happy too because they are very important to the communities in which Deputy Michael Moynihan and I live. We share Ballydesmond. I operate on the Kerry side and he operates on the Cork side. We are all very proud of Nora Herlihy who started the credit union movement.

National Ambulance Service: Motion [Private Members] (28 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...is not their fault. We have a number of ambulances in County Kerry. Let us consider what happened two weeks ago. The ambulance from Kenmare was deployed and sent to Clonakilty. It took a patient to Cork University Hospital and was sent from there to take someone to the hospital in Dungarvan. It then made a second run from Dungarvan to the hospital in Waterford. It was then delegated...

Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) (22 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: Those are the antics of the Deputy to interrupt me and those have been his antics. I never denied the Deputy the right to talk about the people of north Cork and if I am talking about the people of Kerry here, I tell the Deputy not to interrupt me at this stage.

Civil Defence Bill 2023: Second Stage (15 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Civil Defence is. There are times when Civil Defence is very visible such as during normal big events with crowds of people such as the day of the Munster final in Killarney when we have a go at Cork, treat it very well and hope it does not win. Civil Defence is very visible on days like that. Its members are at major events like the Rose of Tralee and the horse racing in Killarney but...

Cost-of-Living Supports: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...are making triple the profits out of it and the Government is taking increased tax out of it. Yet, as we know today, the cost of making electricity has reduced considerably. We have oil off the Cork coast and gas off the Kerry coast and the Shannon liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal could import gas more cheaply from western sources. The Government does not want to entertain that...

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (31 Jan 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...in to investigate what was going on. The HSE is not at the races when it comes to dealing with young children. Why is it the case that the most of those who are waiting for attention are in Kerry and Cork and not in Dublin or elsewhere?
