Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister mentioned that the value of our national heritage should not be underestimated.

- Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: I wonder how much we are promoting and helping local communities to keep events going, because, for example, the cost of insurance is causing a massive problem for local committees. They are having trouble both costing and paying for it. Some festivals that have run for 50 years or more are now dying away because the cost of insurance is so high. We have wonderful events such as the...

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: Some person inherited it, and they had to be handed over. It may have been a tough story behind handing it over. The Chairman is proposing to take private land off people. That is ridiculous. I will not listen to that kind of-----

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: I understand fully what the Chairman is saying because it was part of policy previously to nationalise land. He will not get away with it here.

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: I do not mind what happens in Toronto but the Chairman will not suggest that land be taken over here without it being paid for. It is bad enough that-----

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: It will not compensate farmers. That is bad enough with going on with this carry-on.

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: First, I wish to raise our national parks and especially Killarney National Park. It is a valuable attraction along with Muckross House and Killarney House. They are already massive tourist attractions but we must maintain the momentum. However, that momentum is being challenged by the rhododendron and massive numbers of deer. I understand there is a small amount of culling taking place...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: The HSE is getting massive sums of money each year and there are five Ministers in the Department of Health. Nevertheless, we do not have enough front-line staff. It has become apparent again in recent days that the HSE is hiring clerical and administrative staff at a 3:1 ratio as against front-line staff. That is where we are falling down. That is why we have queues in the accident and...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: This is the HSE and the health service we are trying to provide to people who are sick and who need assistance. Will the Taoiseach rein these people in? The HSE is hiring administrative and clerical staff at a 3:1 ratio to front-line staff. This is totally wrong. All through the crisis when the country was in serious trouble, the HSE was still hiring them and it is hiring them again now...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: National Transport Authority (28 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: What provision is being made for rural bus providers to cater for disabled people wishing to access transport? How can it be fair that a company in Kerry, which I will not name and that has State money, can tender against private contractors for bus runs and community runs? This has been raised in the Chamber and I want to raise it again because it is absolutely unfair on private...
