- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: I know what have to do; we should take the Red Cow out of where it is.
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: Will the Taoiseach progress the Killarney bypass scheme which has been suspended for many years and which way back in 2003 was scheduled to be completed some time in 2009. The new bypass is, or was, to begin on the western side of Farranfore, bypass Killarney and join the N22 to Cork and the N72 to Mallow at Lissivigeen. Another segment of the scheme is to link Muckross Road to Moll's Gap...
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: First, I have to clarify that the Taoiseach is talking about the Macroom bypass, a project we are looking forward to being progressed.
- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: As we know that the Taoiseach is not long in the job, we will excuse him. I am referring to the bypass which will link Tralee and Cork without the need to pass through Killarney. IBEC has told us clearly that Ireland has the fewest number of infrastructural projects in Europe, either under way or ready to go. Most of the country, with the exception of Dublin, is standing still. I call on...
- Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Nitrates Usage (3 Oct 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: 599. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if he will extend the time period in which farmers are allowed to spread slurry (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41689/17]
- UK Withdrawal from the EU: Statements (Resumed) (27 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: We are all talking in a vacuum tonight, as we do not know what the British Prime Minister, Mrs. May, is really going to do or what her timeframe is for Brexit. I do not think even Mrs. May knows what she is doing herself. After the Brexit vote, I was the first to suggest we cajole the UK into having another vote. That may not even be out of the frame yet. I hope it is not because I know...
- Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Will the Minister of State provide funding to local authorities and remove the shackles that have been imposed on them? The four stages of approval demanded by the Department take too long and funding is not filtering down to local authorities. It has been suggested that local authorities, including ours, are not able to build houses because they have...
- Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: It is not.
- Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)

- Topical Issue Debate: Disease Incidence (27 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: The figures that are being given out by the HSE are totally wrong. We know they are wrong because for the numbers they are saying that have Lyme disease, we have that many in Kerry already, not to mind the rest of the country. We have people from Rathmore, Killarney, Killorglin, Castleisland, Cordal, Duagh and many other parts of Kerry who are affected with this terrible disease. A young...
- Topical Issue Debate: Disease Incidence (27 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: The problem is with the person or people who wrote this reply for the Minister of State. The former Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, in a reply to me, recognised that something had to be done to improve the service, medicine or whatever for these people. It was wrong to suggest there was something wrong in people's minds but this is what many of them were told. It has to be changed. How is it...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (27 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: Since I was elected 18 months ago, several reports and many ideas have been put forward to deal with the homeless situation. During the summer, the new Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, suggested something be done around the fair deal scheme, where people in nursing homes would give up their homes to put people into them. The word CPO, compulsory purchase order, was put out there as well, and...

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. My time has been cut, but we will keep going anyway.
- Flooding in County Donegal: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Deputy Charlie McConalogue for bringing this very important motion before the House tonight. He represents his people in Donegal. We all sympathise with those who have been adversely affected. Their lives have been turned upside down with what has happened. I also thank the Minister of State, Deputy Moran, for coming down to Kerry to visit the places that are in trouble there....

Danny Healy-Rae: Let me have one more minute, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. They took my time.
- Flooding in County Donegal: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2017)
Danny Healy-Rae: This has to be dealt with because it is manifesting right around the country. They are laying down the law that one must stay six inches up from the top of the water. Depending on the day that one looks at the river, the river could be two or three feet higher. Inland Fisheries Ireland must be brought to task or else-----
