Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (15 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I raise the issue of local improvement schemes. Kerry received €799,000 from the fund this year. It will do approximately 15 roads. However, there are 673 applications as of today to be dealt with. These are public roads that are not taken in charge. At the rate we are going, it will take 30 years to deal with them. These roads are used by households, farmers and service...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Home Charges: Department of Health (15 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Mr. Watt and his team for coming in here today. I thank the members for trying to get retribution and proper and fair compensation for the people who were wronged.

Private and public nursing homes are doing considerable work and operating great...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Nursing Home Charges: Department of Health (15 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: All right. One part I left out there is respite for family carers. There are no respite places. I know a woman who wishes to go to Lisbon or somewhere for a family wedding. She is caring for her husband and there is no place available for her. There is only one place in Kenmare and it is similar in Killarney. They get a rota to which one has to adhere and she just cannot get respite for...

Cost-of-Living Supports: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for tabling this important motion. People in every walk of life are suffering from the increased cost of living in our country, especially less well-off people who are suffering more and are less able to cope with these increased costs. The increased cost of gas and oil has driven up everything else. If we did what other countries did at the very beginning by...

Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2023: Second Stage (14 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: This Bill will have very serious implications for farmers, and especially small farmers in rural Ireland, predominantly in the west. Things are very bad as it is, and it is hard enough for people to survive and to make ends meet. The other problem is how to entice the young generation to follow in their footsteps. With what is going on now, there is no effort being made to help these...

Mortgage Interest Relief Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for giving us the opportunity to talk about this very important matter. Banks, of course, never lose. When they did, the Government bailed them out with taxpayers' money. When people put their money into the banks, they get very little interest for it. In fact, if they leave it there long enough, it depreciates in value. People with mortgages are suffering. I am...
