Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (14 Jul 2021)

Michael Healy-Rae: I will be brief as I know we are caught for time. I thank the Minister of State because we are now where we have wanted to be for a long time. I am disappointed with some of the content of this Bill. There are still anomalies and concerns, particularly surrounding assets, whether they are family farms or other similar assets. I have always said that a family farm should never be looked...

Health (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (14 Jul 2021)

Michael Healy-Rae: I am grateful for the short opportunity that we have to discuss the Bill. It is very short, considering the enormity of the legislation that is being rushed through the House. I was disappointed yesterday evening with the vote that did away with the pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill. It denied us the right to put forward amendments, discuss and debate them and vote on them. That is...

Lifting of Covid-19 Restrictions: Motion [Private Members] (14 Jul 2021)

Michael Healy-Rae: Let me put it this way. I am not his spokesman and he is sitting there in front of me and is perfectly capable of speaking for himself. Words were attributed to him yesterday which he did not utter. As I say, I am not talking out of turn here and the man is far more experienced in the political world than I am as he is here longer than me. I know that he was wronged yesterday because...

Mandatory Hotel Quarantine Extension: Motion (14 Jul 2021)

Michael Healy-Rae: My main concern about the continuation of this legislation is based on the experiences I have had over recent weeks and months. I will give an example. I encountered very special circumstances where a family member wanted to come back to be with a dying parent. It did not happen because of the quarantining. The person could not even come home for the burial because of the quarantining....

Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Jul 2021)

Michael Healy-Rae: I support the Sinn Féin Deputies tonight. This is a very important subject and a very important amendment. It deserves to be supported because it is not many weeks ago that we met the good people who came here to protest. There were grandparents, parents and young children who were living in homes that were crumbling around them. After every weather event, be it frost or rain, their...

Long-Term Residential Care: Motion [Private Members] (13 Jul 2021)
