Another Kerry Deputy suggested that all the Kerry Deputies should support the...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Nov 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: When a person is being Garda vetted, I ask that the vetting be valid across the board for at least three to five years. It is ridiculous that some people have to be Garda vetted a number of times in any one year. There is so much time lost for someone who has secured and lined up a job and must then wait to be Garda vetted. It must be unduly cumbersome for the gardaí to operate this...

Danny Healy-Rae: I have to indicate that I have had an involvement in water services and my family still do. I can honestly say I worked on repairing water leaks and water breaks in the middle of the night, Christmas Day and St. Patrick's day. I appreciate those men. When the water goes out, they do everything to ensure it flows through the taps again.

Long Covid Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (9 Nov 2022)

Long Covid Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (9 Nov 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I have got permission. The only place this girl has to go now or where she is told she has to go is up to County Meath. There is no residential bed in Kerry for this girl. The HSE is saying that if her mother does not agree to this, it will take the mother to the High Court and make the girl a ward of court. This is very serious. Is this what the HSE is about? They say they are doing it...

Danny Healy-Rae: We all recall this 25% figure, but everyone is asking me what that means in cow numbers. The Taoiseach has denied from day one that there is a cull of cows but there is an awful lot of ambiguity about it. I was glad Mr. Rushe said this will certainly relate to cow numbers, but his organisation's president does not seem to say that when he is appears on television. We cannot get an answer....
