Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: State Pathology Service (19 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: When will the State appoint a pathologist to serve County Kerry? The two pathologists we had previously have been retired for well over six months. Many families have had to wait six, eight or nine days for a pathologist to arrive to carry out the necessary examination, make a conclusion on the cause of death and return the remains to the family. In recent times, the families of three very...

Carers: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about this very important topic this evening. I thank Sinn Féin and Deputy Tully for giving us the opportunity.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am very concerned about the whole process we are going through here tonight. It clearly does not demonstrate any genuine will to help people to get planning permission in rural areas. Indeed, there is little to suggest there is any help forthcoming for people who want to build in urban areas. With regard to the two points I highlighted previously, there are amendments that propose...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I was always brought up to mean what I say or say what I mean. There are so many contradictions in these amendments proposed by Members. Some of the amendments are good and some are terrible. Both kinds have been tabled by the same Members. We have been promised for years now, since I was elected in 2016, that the planning framework guidelines would be put in place to help planning and...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thought I asked a very clear question. I asked if the Minister will do something about the wrong being delivered upon people in rural areas.

My time is short; I have only two minutes available. When...
