Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: This Bill is about switching or joining Ervia to Gas Networks Ireland and putting control of the pipes under one heading. However, the question is whether there will be any gas in the pipes. As has been said, if there is any breakdown or any shortage of supply coming from the direction we are getting it at present, it is surely only common sense to say the French, the English and all...

Eviction Ban Bill 2022: Motion (27 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: There is no doubt that housing for renters and people without homes is a desperate problem. The only answer is to build more social housing. I do not thank People Before Profit for bringing the motion before the House. I firmly believe People Before Profit and its motions have caused more harm to the private rental sector than all the rest of what is happening in the country.

Eviction Ban Bill 2022: Motion (27 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: People Before Profit is the main cause of it. It has house owners frightened away from renting their housing. At the clinics I hold in my neck of the woods - I hold them all over the county - people tell me they have houses to rent for €600, €700 or €800 a month but they are afraid that if they let people in for the year or two in which they want to rent the property,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is a very important committee. It has a very important role to play as there are a lot of issues with our roads. I welcome all the witnesses. I thank them for their work. They dwelt a lot on road regulations, and the penalties and speed limits and all that but alongside that, we need to deal with the issues with our roads. Sadly, there has been an increase in fatalities. We need to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: We have Shinnagh Cross in Rathmore, which is a five-road junction. We have been calling for a roundabout there. There is also the state of our little local roads. We do not get the funding. They are hippity hop. As I said, the hedges are not being cut. If we speak about safety, we have to include the state and condition of our roads and junctions and recognise there has been a massive...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I have one other issue to raise. There is one other desperate demon on our roads and that is deer. The Office of Public Works denies it has any responsibility and the National Parks and Wildlife Service denies it has any obligation to keep the deer off the roads. If you are responsible for the tag in the ear of an animal and something happens and the animals are not insured they would take...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank all the delegates for their replies. It is grand that a sign can be put up on a motorway asking people to reduce their speed when it is raining or snowing but this cannot be done on local roads. There is no way you could put up a sign on every road. At the same time, I must say to Dr. Cusack that the topography of our roads will determine whether a person can do 80 km/h, even...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety: Discussion (27 Sep 2023)

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: This review was triggered by complaints from clinicians and staff last October about problems with infections and complications following surgeries. That was almost 12 months ago. It is frightening to think so many children were affected. I am not sure if the number is 16 or 19, but one has died. One is too many. This is serious. We must narrow down who was responsible. The HSE is...

Children's Health Ireland - Patient safety concerns and reviews in paediatric orthopaedic surgical services: Statements, Questions and Answers (26 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: First, I, too, commiserate with the families involved and with the Carter family for the loss of their lovely child. It is so sad. So many people do so much good work, such as doctors, nurses and the health service. It has to be acknowledged that they do. It is sad to see that trust is being broken in a case like this. We see the same with the child and adolescent mental health services,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: They have also told me that Kerry has not got enough from this Government under the local improvement scheme. Of 676 projects in Kerry, we got enough to do 25.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I need to bring to the Minister's attention the high level of anger, dissatisfaction and frustration felt by many people in Kerry because of two things, namely, the Shannon LNG project and the Killarney bypass. Energy security is being compromised, jobs are being lost and, in the case of the Killarney bypass, road safety is being compromised. Shannon LNG's application to An Bord...
