Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Flooding of Lough Funshinagh: Lough Funshinagh Group (26 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I sympathise with our guests sincerely. Even though I am from Kerry and we are far away from Roscommon I feel for the residents. I have listened to all the different things that happened along the way. I cannot understand how people, who I will not give the benefit of naming, could impede or stop residents from protecting their homes or their property. I cannot understand why people would...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Flooding of Lough Funshinagh: Lough Funshinagh Group (26 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: My sentiments are with the residents. It is sad our guests had to come up here to this Oireachtas committee to make a presentation when it is only natural justice they are asking for. I am sure the grants that have been lost out on can be got back but the most important thing to see would be residents getting back into their homes, that they are safe and sound in them and that their...

Public Transport: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin for this important motion but there are many parts of rural Kerry that do not have public transport at all. If we are honest, there is not enough money in the Central Bank to service all of rural County Kerry with public transport because it is so expansive and places are so remote. However, we want people to live there and we want to assist in whatever way we can....

Finance Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to raise issues about this budget. All we ever ask in a budget is that the Minister and the Government be fair with all sectors of the people. That has not happened in this budget. Sadly, people depending on diesel and petrol-fuelled cars, where they have no other option, together with lorry men who are on the road day after day, were promised throughout...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (25 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the opportunity to say a few words on behalf of our fishing industry. It is ironic to think that it was the English who taught us the value of our fishing around our coast back in the 1600s. In the early 1970s, a fisherman with an average size fishing boat was deemed to be as well off as a person who owned a farm and it is ironic to think that we have lost most of that. We all can...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Funding (20 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I appreciate that talks have taken place and further talks are to take place. I look forward to that. As section 39 workers, these staff are not fully funded by the HSE. This impacts on the Kerry Parents and Friends Association because it is operating on an extremely tight budget and funds from fundraising are often used towards the costs of service provision. Pay parity is also an issue...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Funding (20 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: Approximately €60 million of extra funding for disabilities was announced in the budget. How is this to be divvied out? Will it be used to bring pay parity to these section 39 workers, especially the staff of the Kerry Parents and Friends Association?
