Summer Economic Statement 2017: Statements (13 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The improvements we hope to get in the budget are very important because many people have been left behind for years. The big imponderable is Brexit and how adversely it will affect our country and the people who work and try to survive here, especially those in agriculture. I heard some commentator this morning say that many English people believe the UK should not leave if it does not get...

Mortgage Arrears Resolution (Family Home) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (12 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Fianna Fáil and Deputy Michael McGrath for giving us an opportunity to talk about this important matter. Even though it has been discussed all along the way since I first came up here 17 months ago, many people are still in a great deal of trouble. One's home is one's castle, or it should be. There is nothing wrong with Fianna Fáil's proposal to set up an independent...

Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government committed €950 million extra to the HSE this year.

How is it that University Hospital Kerry, Tralee is still overcrowded with people on trolleys in the middle of the summer? Community hospitals...

Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (12 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: While we are talking about rural Ireland and about Kerry, where I come from, I will say what I said one of the first times I spoke in the House. I firmly believe that we will not get fair play in Kerry until the Red Cow is moved out to Bull Rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I believe we will not get fair play until that time. The Minister has departed but the Minister of State,...

Waste Reduction Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (11 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The amount of waste and rubbish, especially bottles, seems to be multiplying all the time. In different times, there was a charge on bottles. In pubs or anywhere else, when someone took a bottle away and then brought it back, one got back whatever they had been charged for it. Publicans were sub-charged for bottles and if they did not return them, they had to pay the bill which was very...

Leaders' Questions (6 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: I refer to the former St. Finan's Hospital in Killarney, a well built stone building which stands on 30 acres of land on the northside of the town which border both sides of the bypass. It is a listed building, for which plans for its future use need to be formulated. We are all aware of what happened this week to a similar building, the former Our Lady's Hospital in Shanakiel. Much of it...

Leaders' Questions (6 Jul 2017)

Leaders' Questions (6 Jul 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister, Deputy Richard Bruton, mentioned that there had been a trawl of properties owned by the State. Why then is the Government not already aware of this property? I have raised the issue several times at forum meeting of HSE south in County Hall in Cork. I call on the Government to ensure the building will not be allowed to become derelict to avoid the possibility of it burning...
