- 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.

Danny Healy-Rae: Killarney National Park on its own comprises 26,000 acres of land in Kerry and the estate managers cannot control the rhododendrons not to mind-----
- 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?
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: The Government can spend €135 million on a footpath in Dublin. We are asking for small sums of money to be made available. In the context of what Kerry gets in a year, this is a small request. It is not fair to ask people to drive through a flood to get into their village.
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I did not interrupt Deputy Brassil when he raised the matter. He asked me if I knew where it is. I know too well where it is. I make no apology to anyone for raising it in the Chamber.
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I did not interrupt Deputy Brassil.
- Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I did not interrupt him. The Minister of State, Deputy Griffin, criticised Jackie Healy-Rae for bringing funding down to Kerry. Let the Minister of State bring down the funding for the N70 between Blackwater Bridge and Sneem. Jackie Healy-Rae brought a lot of money and did a lot to improve sections of these roads. There are a few bits remaining to be done. It is time the Minister of...

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Fianna Fáil for bringing forward the motion. I welcome each and every person who has come here and thank him or her for the great work he or she has done. I welcome the people who have come from County Kerry. I salute Mr. Michael Brosnan who worked for me and did great work on the schemes on which he worked. I salute all of the people who have come from County Kerry. They...
- Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (24 Apr 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I reiterate I am vehemently opposed to the Bill in its entirety and to the additional proposal regarding learner drivers. A couple of weeks ago, the Government made much ado about the lack of teachers. Students who are going to college, whether they are in Kilgarvan, the Black Valley, Cahirciveen or wherever else, have to undertake teacher training in different schools around their areas....
