Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Future of Europe (Resumed): His Excellency, Mr. Stéphane Crouzat, Ambassador of France to Ireland (18 Oct 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: Before the ambassador concludes, I point out that his visit today is of such importance that at another date to be agreed it would be very important for him to come before us again after we see a bit of movement in the Brexit negotiations. Some members were missing today. It would be helpful to all of us, as I am sure members would agree. I do not wish to be rude but I ask the ambassador...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Future of Europe (Resumed): His Excellency, Mr. Stéphane Crouzat, Ambassador of France to Ireland (18 Oct 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: We very much appreciate the ambassador's time and that of his officials. This has been a very useful engagement and the viewpoints of the French Government will be fully considered by the committee. The variety and scope of ideas being put forward are very interesting. All ideas should be debated in order that we can work towards a vision that will support us all. I remind members of...

Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Oct 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: My question relates to the programme for Government. As the Taoiseach knows, phenylketonuria is where sufferers carry a gene that inhibits them from breaking down the protein. The inability to break down the protein and the resulting build-up of it in the brain to toxic levels can lead to brain damage, seizures and behavioural problems. Kuvan is the only treatment available for PKU, but it...

Michael Healy-Rae: Keep going.

Local Authority Boundaries Review: Motion [Private Members] (17 Oct 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: I am very glad to support Deputy Michael Collins, who is the main man behind the motion. It is a very important motion in that it is like standing up and saying, "Stop. Look at what is happening. Who is saying this is right and who is saying this is wrong". I support the very good arguments that have been made by each member of our group. This is a critical time in that we are seeing...

Water Services Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (17 Oct 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: I welcome the opportunity to speak to the Bill. I never like to be personal about anything, but when I look back over this debacle, I am reminded of the arrogance of the former Minister, Phil Hogan, who behaved in a condescending manner when dealing with people who had dared to voice objections to what he was proposing. The actual charges being proposed at the time, before the then...

Order of Business (17 Oct 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: There is a commitment in the programme for Government regarding the drainage of roads. Surely in light of yesterday's storm that commitment should also be extended and the Government and the Department with responsibility for the environment, in conjunction with our excellent local authorities, should organise that trees growing on the sides of roads which are in a dangerous condition and...

Order of Business (17 Oct 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: It is very important. This cannot be emphasised enough. If such work were to save just one life, would it not be well worth it?

Leaders' Questions (17 Oct 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply, but going back to criticising Fianna Fáil is not a very helpful way to deal with the issue. What I am asking him to do is to study the motion brought before the House in November 2016 and implement it. I have 100% confidence in the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Denis Naughten. His heart is in the right place...

Leaders' Questions (17 Oct 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: The Rural Independent Group would also like to register its deepest sympathies for the families who lost loved ones in yesterday's storm. I also compliment the Government, local authorities and, in the county I represent, Ms Moira Murrell, who is CEO of Kerry County Council, and all the great outdoor staff for the great work that they did, not just in our county but throughout the country....
