Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: In relation to spending money, taxes and USC, we have said previously that it is very important that people realise that when their money is being spent, it is being wasted. When the Government talks about housing - and it surely has done a lot of talking about housing - there is one avenue that it has not explored. We all know that there are so many vacant houses around the country, right...

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the chance to talk about this amendment and the USC. First, I remember this USC was introduced when the country was in a desperate state. I was brought up by my father who taught me many things, thankfully. As many Members might know, I spent my days and nights with him from the day I started working until the day he departed in 2014. We milked the cows together, drove the...

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am being heckled here from behind. However, there is plenty of money for those who curtail their farm work of food production. These are the ridiculous things that are going on. Yet, at the same time, the parties are all the one now. It was a different situation in the past. They have sold their souls and buried them in the ground when they joined Fine Gael first of all, and when...

Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: What I am getting at is that they promised that as soon as the country got on its feet, they would abolish the USC charge.

It is very unfair and unjust. No matter how much or little - especially...

Danny Healy-Rae: -----who are very disgruntled and out of sorts because of the Government's failure to reduce the VAT rate from 13.5% to 9%. It had all kinds of money to do just that and it would rather spend it here on bicycle sheds and huts and what have you and the children's hospital where it has no control in the world over where the money is going. There is no account whatsoever of when it will be...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Nov 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I ask the Taoiseach to provide funding for the Killarney bypass. People are stalled, parked on the roads in and out of Killarney morning, noon and night. I also ask him to provide funding for the bridges on the Ring of Kerry road and Listry bridge. The road from Blackwater Bridge to Sneem has been totally and absolutely neglected. It is part of the Ring of Kerry route. It has to be...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Taoiseach for the reply. We have been living on promises for a long time. When the Taoiseach says that he and this one and that one are going to do something, it will be after the election. We will have to wait to see who is there.
