Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: Some person owns the land. Some person paid for it.
- 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: 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-----
- 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 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.
- 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 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-----
- 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: It will not compensate farmers. That is bad enough with going on with this carry-on.
- 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 do not know which of us will ask the other to leave because since I have been here the Chairman has not stopped talking and we cannot get to ask any questions. He then starts talking about something ridiculous like this-----
- 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: 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: I could take half a minute, instead of the Chairman speaking.
- 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...
- Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: School Accommodation Provision (28 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: 159. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if a decision to refuse an application by a school (details supplied) for additional school accommodation will be reconsidered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14392/18]
- Written Answers — Department of Education and Skills: Summer Works Scheme (28 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: 163. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the reason a school (details supplied) was not awarded funding in the summer works scheme to replace windows; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14402/18]
- Services for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (27 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on this very important motion. The Minister of State visited St. Mary of the Angels in Kerry and saw at first hand the great work which was being done there. Sadly, no new children are being admitted to the centre. While no one is currently being moved, there is concern that people will be moved. I am calling for an independent assessment of how...
- Government Response to Salisbury Attack: Statements (27 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I, too, wish to voice my disappointment and anger at the attack in Salisbury on 4 March. I do not believe, however, there is much point in debating this issue here now because the decision has been made to expel a diplomat from the Russian embassy. I wonder how the Government decided on one person. Were all the names put into a hat and one fellow pulled out? How long will the termination...
- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: I support my two colleagues, Deputies Cahill and McConalogue, who have raised the serious matter of the way farmers are fixed. The other day I drove all the way from Drogheda to Kerry. There was not one blade of grass on either side of the road. The fact is cattle have been housed since last September. We need to be aware that is why the knackeries are full. The lorries are on the road...
- Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Danny Healy-Rae: I have questions on the suckler cow. These farmers are now described as "hobby farmers". I know what they have to go through because we do it ourselves. Between calving cows in the middle of the night, losing calves and all that goes with it, breeding them and trying to have the right bulls, these suckler cow farmers are not even breaking even now. That is the gospel truth. They come to...
- Citizens' Assembly: Motion (21 Mar 2018)
Danny Healy-Rae: I ask that the Government give no more time to these people. They were elected by no one and several counties were not included in the assembly. I appeal to the Government not to allow the assembly to go any further. It has done too much harm. Please, do not let it do anymore. I am not supporting an extension of time. Blow the assembly out of it.
- Business Insurance: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2018)
