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.

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...

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.

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Instruction to Committee (24 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am totally opposed to provisional drivers being added to the Bill because it will affect young fellows in rural Ireland. The Minister need not shake his head because it will affect them. It has already affected one young fellow in Killorglin and a few more in different places. He lost his apprenticeship because he could not get to work. His father and mother could not allow him to take...

Questions on Promised Legislation (24 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: Farmers around the country, especially in the west, are still in serious trouble. They are very disappointed that the Government and the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine have not listened to calls for help.

Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: In recent times, the Government has made much ado about encouraging emigrants to come home and work in the teaching, nursing and social work professions. If such people have been out of the country for more than three of the past five years, they cannot access postgraduate courses without paying for them. A girl of whom I am aware left Killarney in 2014 at the age of 24. She came back last...
