Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin. It is because of it that we are debating this important subject. One of the major issues preoccupying every politician who is worth his or her salt in any way is the housing situation. In County Kerry, which I represent, there are problems with housing every day. Young couples are looking for housing, and not just local authority housing. People are simply trying...

Topical Issue Debate: Disease Incidence (27 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: I welcome the people who came from around the country today to protest at the Dáil. They had a presentation in the AV room, which was excellent. It was heartbreaking to hear their experiences, particularly those of one farmer whose life was turned upside down when both he and his young sons got Lyme disease. The one point I want to raise is the lack of early diagnosis. People have to...

Topical Issue Debate: Disease Incidence (27 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: What I am going to say is in no way a personal attack on the Minister of State, but I am outraged at that response. Telling people who have gone abroad for treatment to Germany - who cannot get a diagnosis here and who are seriously ill - that they have fibromyalgia is outrageous. I thank the people who travelled here today from around the country and particularly my own friends and...

Flooding in County Donegal: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: I thank Deputy Charlie McConalogue and Fianna Fáil for bringing this very important motion before the House. I want to recognise this. I sympathise with the great people above in Donegal who suffered so much, as people throughout the country have suffered in the past. It is right that Fianna Fáil recognises this here tonight and that we are debating it for two days and two...

Flooding in County Donegal: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: We will be very grateful for it when the Minister of State gives it to us. This is what we need in Government. We need some ordinary people who are down to earth and who feel the passion of what happens on the ground. There is nothing worse than flooding and the problems it causes to people's property, their houses, their farms and the roads that would be torn away. We have the right man...

Order of Business (26 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: On the programme for Government, we have 25 dental clinics in County Cork and four in County Kerry. We had six clinics in the county but two - in Dingle and Kenmare - were closed. According to the census, the populations of counties Cork and Kerry were 542,000 and 147,000, respectively. On that basis, County Kerry should-----

Order of Business (26 Sep 2017)

Michael Healy-Rae: The programme for Government includes a commitment for dental services. On the basis of population, County Kerry should have seven dental clinics but it has four. We are being treated unfairly in comparison with our neighbours in County Cork, with whom I have absolutely no problem. I want County Kerry to get its fair share, which we are not getting at present. We should have seven dental...
