Michael Healy-Rae: All right. What measures will be put in place to support companies, especially micro businesses, in implementing the new provisions? Will the Minister of State answer that?

Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (25 Sep 2024)

Michael Healy-Rae: Does the Minister of State realise how many small business are going? I am so grateful to the big businesses and the tech companies that come here and create massive wealth. We saw what was recently got from Apple, even though the Government was not looking for it. It got it, and I am glad that it has it. It will spend it well, I hope. I hope it will not go on a bike shed, or a second...

Health Information Bill 2024: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Sep 2024)

Carer's Allowance Means Test: Motion [Private Members] (25 Sep 2024)

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank the Regional Group for tabling this important motion. We in the Rural Independent Group tabled a motion before, where we were adamant that the means test should be abolished. It has no place in a modern society because many of the people who are giving care are giving up other employment. They are not earning somewhere else because all they have to rely on is the carer's allowance....

Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (24 Sep 2024)

Michael Healy-Rae: Amending the Criminal Justice Act 1990 was always going to be a very difficult and tenuous thing to do because of what is involved. How we deal with young offenders - especially people who take the life of a person, even if the person taking that life is under 18 years of age - is obviously a very serious thing. The deterrents have to be in place. We have to highlight the fact that taking...
