Regional Airports: Motion [Private Members] (11 Nov 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...terminal is to be built in Dublin. As has been pointed out, it will not even be good for Dublin. This is unfair. All that we in the west and rural Ireland - places like Kerry, Limerick, Clare and Cork - want is a fair cut. We are not selfish, but it is like modern Governments and Dublin Deputies are focused on Dublin and Dublin only. I have been calling for testing at airports...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (7 Oct 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...when questioned about the cross-border directive and allowing people to go to the North of Ireland to get their cataracts removed were totally unacceptable. He talks about building something in Cork to deal with this problem. He is saying that he will not allow the cross-border directive to continue but how is there such a difference between him and the Minister, Deputy Coveney? They...

Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (30 Sep 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...have deposits of oil, gold or diamonds in this country. We must use whatever resources we have to survive. Forestry is one of the resources we have on marginal land in rural parts of Kerry and west Cork. I know these places well. I have worked in every one of them. I know that if I am doing a small job on a road, I will have to put in silt traps and silt ponds and make sure that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 Sep 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...provide more beds but the opposite is happening in Killarney which only has the one community hospital. Where are people who get sick or need a short period of rehabilitation after an operation in Cork or Tralee general hospital supposed to go? There has been a savage cut in Killarney. We are told that HIQA has demanded this. Where was HIQA for the last 20 years, when the same number...

Covid-19 (Transport): Statements (23 Sep 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: I raise the matter of tests for young drivers. The tests are seriously delayed in Kerry. A young fellow who has organised a job in Cork but cannot drive there will lose the job. A young farmer who wants to go to the farmers' course in Clonakilty but is waiting for months for a driving test cannot go to Clonakilty. The same story applies to youngsters going to colleges. They cannot drive...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...April. This has been a massive attraction and is a serious loss to business in Tralee. The move to cut three race nights from the monthly calendar by the Irish Greyhound Board and relocate them to Cork and Limerick has hurt many dog owners and will certainly hurt business in Tralee. I support the request of Ken Tobin of Tralee Chamber Alliance that Kerry be separated from Cork city when...

Health (General Practitioner Service and Alteration of Criteria for Eligibility) Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...problems or need hip replacements. We still have to take people up to Belfast for cataract procedures. One woman was told recently that she would be waiting four years to get her cataracts removed in Cork. This is not good enough. I must say to the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, that I believe he is going to lose the battle with Covid-19, given what he has done in opening up travel....

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (Resumed) (17 Jun 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...would only make a difference of a few millimetres. The fact is that the river was lowered by metres. The road is not in jeopardy and the emergency services can go back and forth to hospitals in Cork and Tralee. The national primary route into Kerry is no longer flooded. I have to thank the Minister of State for agreeing to and giving us the funding to clear the river. Following...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (17 Jun 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil; it is Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael joining the Green Party. That is the way it is going. Rural Ireland is now set to pay, by way of carbon tax, for new shiny electric buses for Dublin and Cork, while services in Kerry, to the rural places I mentioned, will be closed down. 2 o’clock I refer to the ratio of spending for capital projects. I...

Covid-19 (Health): Statements (4 Jun 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...the Government and is a very important part of the Cabinet. I ask the Minister to ensure the wellbeing of those people who gave so much to tourism in Kerry and around the country, including west Cork and Clare and all the other places. This is our one chance to open up tourism for domestic holiday makers because they have only those six or seven weeks. After 15 August families will be...

Covid-19 (Taoiseach): Statements (4 Jun 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...disappointed when Deputy Micheál Martin stated on "The Late Late Show" that farmers would have to diversify and plant forestry. Planting forestry does not provide an acceptable income for many farmers. Around east Cork and north Kerry, we have great land. We are not allowed plant marginal land. It is not grant-aided. We have to plant good land. Planting forestry while the...

Covid-19 (Health): Statements (27 May 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... They tried to make calls and were kept waiting at the end of the telephone line. They are like the two fellows who were stuck on the train who wanted to get off at Mallow. They finished up in Cork because the train was going direct to Cork. I am sorry, I have gone into my colleague, Deputy Mattie McGrath's, time.

Covid-19 (Health): Statements (30 Apr 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: An eminent cardiologist from Cork, Dr. Cróchán O'Sullivan, has done great work in treating people with heart problems and he is very concerned that only 50% of the usual number of people are now presenting with heart problems or worries about strokes, cancer or hip issues. I am concerned about people who are losing their sight and who cannot get their cataracts removed. What will...

Social Protection (Covid-19): Statements (2 Apr 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...place in Killarney. The old St. Finan's Hospital has a grand way in and a grand way out. A test centre could be set up there to cater for an area within a 25 mile radius, including Killarney, east Kerry and even into north-west Cork, as well as down to Kenmare and Sneem. Those people are very far away from Tralee and I am asking the Government to try to set up a centre there. People...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Coillte Annual Report 2018: Discussion (3 Dec 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...That is sad because there are many acres of forestry and ground in Kerry and a lot of work to be done. I think one forester is covering all of Kerry, part of west Limerick and part of north-west Cork, even going into south-west Cork, whereas we once had a forester in Kilgarvan, two in Kenmare and one in Sneem. I do not know how this could run rife with such a reduction in staff numbers....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Workforce Planning in the Mental Healthcare Sector: Discussion (20 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...in care, which should not happen. It is shameful that happened and it was not so long ago. I read a report Mental Health Commission report by Dr. Finnerty. In respect of services in Kerry and Cork, it stated that while there are supposed to be seven dedicated rehabilitation and recovery teams in the team, there are just two poorly staffed teams in place to cover a population of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Homes Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion (13 Nov 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...each year. That is totally unfair and undemocratic. In the case of everyone else in the country, if he or she has a house, it is only the value of the house that will be assessed for the scheme. I met a man in west Cork a few months ago who had just bought a farm. We all know that one must increase production even to stand still in respect of one's income. The farm's value will be...
