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)

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...

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

Danny Healy-Rae: Why did the Tánaiste not make a submission then?

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

Danny Healy-Rae: I am stating the facts as well. Wherever the €626 million went, it did not go to the Killarney bypass or the Cork-Kerry economic corridor as it is also called. It did not go there anyway. That is a fact. It has been stopped because TII has been starved of the funding to do the assessments. If the Minister states that anyone could have made a submission, why did Deputy...

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

Danny Healy-Rae: Where were they? They are allowed to do what they like and at the same time no young lad in Kerry can get a driving test. Does the Government want to keep them off the road as well? There are 23,000 vehicle movements every day on the Killarney route I am talking about. Their safety is being compromised. He kicked up a big hullabaloo the other day saying he was going reduce speed limits...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Student Accommodation (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister will appreciate that we, in Kerry, have serious problems with students finding accommodation in places like Limerick and Cork. What can he do and what will he do in the future? More importantly this year, what can be done for all these students who do not have a place in Limerick and Cork today?

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Student Accommodation (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: Of course, I welcome what has happened in Tralee. However, I am talking about students who do not have accommodation in Cork and Limerick today. For whatever reason their courses are in those colleges at this time. They are travelling by bus. They cannot drive themselves because they cannot get a driving test in Kerry - it is an impossibility. The leaving cert results come out too late....
