Hospital Waiting Lists: Motion [Private Members] (23 May 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for introducing this motion. I mean no slight on the Minister of State, but it is a shame and disgrace that the Minister for Health is not here. There is no excuse good enough for that. He has been playing to the gallery all the week. He launched some initiative to put ads on bottles, drinks or whatever and announced that Ireland is the first country in the world to...

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I have nothing at all against refugees or asylum seekers. How could I have anything against people I do not even know? We all feel for people who are fleeing war and conflict in other countries. However, it is clear this Government has an open-door policy, but it has not accommodation sorted out and services like doctors, teachers, schools and all those things in place. The Government...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 May 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: Does the Taoiseach want to blackguard me and the people of Kerry with the answer that he is after giving me there, because he answered very little of what I asked? He travelled to Tipperary and other places and talked about goodies that he says he is carrying around the country. I am talking about the Ring of Kerry and the national primary and secondary routes where people are totally...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 May 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get this opportunity to raise a few issues that are preventing people from obtaining planning permission to be able to do the most basic thing in life, that is, to build a home and put a roof over their heads. At a time when the Government is struggling to house massive numbers of people who are on the social housing list and people from other countries who are fleeing wars and...

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome all the groups here, especially the Macra group, and I wish the new president all the best in her tenure. Macra is a great organisation. We saw it in action in Kenmare last Sunday morning organising the tractor run from Kenmare to Kilgarvan with a team of youngsters involved. It gives the likes of me hope to see that set-up and to see them so active. It is great. There are a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Revitalising Derelict and Vacant Homes on Farmland: Discussion (17 May 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am nearly finished. Those people were not going to benefit at all from those playgrounds at all. On top of that, if there was a local road - and people had to be on a local road, nearly, to get permission - that road will not be done up, regardless. People will have to pay the €2,500 or €3,000 levy for the roads. It may not be going to their house at all, because more than...

Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (16 May 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the opportunity to support this Bill brought forward by Sinn Féin. I thank Deputy Brady for doing the work and bringing it forward. This Bill aims to prevent the National Treasury Management Agency from investing in businesses that operate in illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land. I support this aim. We know our own story. We were an oppressed nation for 700 or...

Planning and Rural Housing: Motion [Private Members] (10 May 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am sharing time with Deputy Nolan. I am not exaggerating when I say planning permission in Kerry is very difficult to obtain at present and is becoming more and more difficult as the days go on. I have raised previously with the Taoiseach the issue of national primary and national secondary roads. It is ironic to think it was he who gave TII the powers in 2013, as Minister for Transport,...
