Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2023: Second Stage (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk again about these unfair energy costs. While I welcome the three €150 credits, this system is ridiculous. In the first place, the energy providers are allowed to overcharge and to charge what they like. This is what is happening and we are then trying to get a windfall tax off them. At present, what is happening with this €150 credit...

European Parliament Directive on Victims of Crime: Motion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I did not identify any group. I said asylum seekers.

European Parliament Directive on Victims of Crime: Motion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: Yes. They come here for asylum and if they commit a serious crime, like with a knife or whatever, we should do one thing with them - put them on a boat and send them back to wherever they came from. That is all I am asking; not to be wasting the taxpayer's money here, there and everywhere and giving them free legal aid because that is not right.

European Parliament Directive on Victims of Crime: Motion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I have no other way of doing it only telling the truth. Free legal aid is being abused all over the country and it has to be curtailed and reined in. I am asking the Minister of State to do that now. I am talking about the victims of crime and the people who have been robbed. I know of a case where the person whose money was taken went into the Garda station to identify the people and he...

European Parliament Directive on Victims of Crime: Motion (Resumed) (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to say a few words on this very important topic and I will refer to a case I had this week. When their house is broken into, people can feel very upset and they are even afraid to go back into their house after something like this happens. It is so hard to bring the criminal or perpetrator to justice. They have so many avenues. What is terrible is the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise with the Taoiseach the matter of excessive numbers of deer roaming our roads in Kerry. Road safety is paramount. These deer are compromising people's safety. I want to mention the large number of deaths on our roads in north Kerry especially and to sympathise with the families who have lost loved ones. We all feel for those people. Deer have caused many deaths in our...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Taoiseach. I am not happy with his response. He does not seem to be really concerned about it. In Kerry we have lost many lives, through people swerving and hitting trees. That is a fact. Large stags have landed on bonnets. Roads in Kerry are not safe, morning, noon or night. Deer are even going down into Valentia Island, Gneevgullia and Scartaglen. At any hour of the day...

Neutrality: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to speak on the motion. Like everyone else in this House and around the country, I abhor the atrocities that are going on in the Gaza Strip and the loss of life. When we see young little children injured, murdered and dead in their parents' arms, we can only think what it would be like if it were our own children or our grandchildren. None of us wants that...

Neutrality: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's Response to Ash Dieback: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the witnesses. I have been at various committee meetings previous to this, and it is tough to see them having to come back here with their issues still not resolved. As they said, confidence in the forestry sector and planting trees and so on is totally lost because we cannot believe anything from the Government any more, especially the Minister of State, who, as I have said, does...
