Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government committed to taking in 4,500 refugees. We are told that 55 men are being moved into Linden House on New Road in Killarney. There has been no consultation with the local authority or the Garda, whose station is on the same road. There are community schools and national schools, including the Presentation convent school and St. Brendan's College, on the same road. Some 55 men...

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2017 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: A person taken into hospital tonight will be charged €75 if he or she does not have VHI or a medical card. As soon as a person is in shape enough to sign his or her name if he or she has VHI or other health insurance, the health insurance company will charge over €800 a night for the same bed for the same patient. That is what is driving up the cost of health insurance. It...

Danny Healy-Rae: I want to take up where Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice left off.

Finance Bill 2017: From the Seanad (13 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: I know a family who were ready to pay back the amount they owed, but the vulture funds would not accept it. They were paying back every penny they owed. They got money from family and friends, but the vulture funds will not accept what they are giving them. They will lose their home and business as a result. It is very unfair. As Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice said, they are Irish people....

Northern Ireland: Statements (13 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to talk tonight about the North of Ireland. Even though we are furthest away from the Six Counties, it still concerns everyone in Kerry as much as it does the people of the rest of the country. Great progress has been made over the last 20 years, after the 30 years of bloodshed, loss of life and damage to communities caused by lack of employment prior to...

Online Advertising and Social Media (Transparency) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (13 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: First, I thank Deputy Lawless for bringing this matter to our attention and for bringing this Bill before the Dáil. We have heard a lot about the Taoiseach's new strategic communications unit which is, in other words, a spin machine. He will spend €5 million on this project which will aid Government Ministers and ensure the favourable political fortunes of the Government. While...

Questions on Promised Legislation (13 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Taoiseach is marching on with Deputy Ross's Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill in order to please him or to pay him back for making up the numbers. It is not for the work he has done or for what he has achieved as a Minister. I welcome that more rural bus link services have been announced by Deputy Heydon. They will be a help to towns and villages at certain times. However, 38 buses will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: National Planning Framework: Discussion (13 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: I object strongly to this being described as the national plan from now to 2040. It is not good enough to cover the next three or four years, not to mind the next 20 years. I am not signing my name to this or approving it as our plan because then Kerry local authority will tell us this is the plan as set out by the Government and these are the Members who backed it. I object to this being...
