Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I reiterate what I have said previously about electric cars. I have nothing against electric cars but it is a fact people will buy electric cars when they are reliable and when they are a real alternative to what we have at present. People cannot be forced out of good diesel cars that can travel the distance, let us say from Kerry to Dublin, without having to refuel. I can actually go back...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to contribute on this important topic. I have never seen so many people so angry in recent times about what is happening to them and what is being allowed to happen to them by this Government.

National Retrofit Plan: Motion [Private Members] (20 Sep 2022)

What is happening to the money the Government is collecting from hard-beaten motorists, whether...
