Competition (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (9 Feb 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: That is to be welcomed. We have lessons to learn, and when I say “we” I mean all of us, as to how we go about securing permission from farmers when we want to do a project. There is a great difference between going to a landowner in one way as opposed to another. There was a very nice man in the place where I come from and he said it is all about how one approaches a...

Competition (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (9 Feb 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on this important Bill. I will start with farming because I always like reminding the House that Ireland is predominantly a farming and agriculture-based country. This Government, however, as well as successive governments in the past, seems to have forgotten that. It has forgotten farmers and fishermen. Every obstacle that could be put in their...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: The Deputy remembers that. Today, I remember people such as Mr. Albert Reynolds, a highly respectable politician who did great work. I remember him for his work. It went from the Department of Posts and Telegraphs to Telecom Éireann and then from Eircom to Eir and one of the problems we have is the neglect on the ground. Privatisation was not a friend to this company.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: It resulted in the death knell for the service in rural areas as far as I can see. Let the message go out loud and clear that Eir must pull up its socks and put people out on the ground working door to door to keep the service and connectivity going. I thank the Taoiseach for this opportunity.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: I want to raise with the Taoiseach today the very important issue of the collapse of the repair and maintenance of service to Eir customers in south and west Kerry. I am inundated with calls from customers. There was a time when we had excellent repair and maintenance cover based at the Cahersiveen depot, which ceased in July 2021 when the last customer service technician retired. In the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: That answer from the Taoiseach is brilliant and excellent if I had asked a different question. Unfortunately, however, the issue I am raising is telephone lines, wires hanging down and no noise when people pick up the telephone. That is the question I am raising today and it is the issue I want the Taoiseach to take back to Eir. I wish the CEO of Eir very well. The person is retiring and...

National Minimum Wage: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: First, I thank People Before Profit-Solidarity for bringing this very important motion before the House. It is so important. If the Minister of State, Deputy English, does not realise it or if the Government does not realise it, there is a serious crisis going on in our country at present. It is the crisis of the people who are working and who have a job, but who are finding it awfully...

Dignity and Equality Issues in the Defence Forces: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (8 Feb 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: I sincerely thank Deputy Clarke and Sinn Féin for bringing this important motion before the House.

The group has criticised this approach and said that such investigations into alleged sexual assaults "still...
