Raise the Roof: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Raise the Roof and compliment it on its efforts. I hope I can add to its call to help. The Government's focus at present seems to be totally on Airbnb. The Government thinks that will sort out the issue. There are people who want to let their houses short-term and they will not let them long-term. The Government cannot make them do otherwise with any law it brings in. The fact...

Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: If we talk to anyone in Kerry today about football, they are all happy about that. They thank the great Kerry team for that. However, if we talk to them about health and the regional hospital, they will not thank the Government for that. If we talk to them about the cost of fuel, diesel and petrol, they will not thank the Government for the extra tax it is taking from them for that without...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: Listry Bridge is on the regional road from Killarney to Milltown, Castlemaine and Dingle. It services all of mid-Kerry. It was built more than 200 years ago.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: Listry Bridge. It was built more than 200 years ago for horses and cars. It is now unable to carry single-lane traffic. Indeed, Deputy Griffin goes over this bridge. I do not know whether he knows the name of it or not. It is very unfair on all the people of mid-Kerry, and on Deputy Griffin, that the bridge is reduced to a single lane. There are plans on file somewhere-----

Cost of Disability: Motion [Private Members] (6 Jul 2022)

Back to School Costs: Motion [Private Members] (5 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Deputy Ó Laoghaire and Sinn Féin for bringing this important motion before us. It is very timely in light of the fact that the Dáil will be rising in a week's time and we will not be back before the children go back to school in September. We appreciate that the Government has made some announcements in recent hours, but we have to drive home to the Minister that...

Communications (Retention of Data) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (5 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will not take much time. We read that EU law precludes national legislative measures which provide, as a preventative measure, for the general and indiscriminate retention of traffic and location data relating to electronic communications to combat serious crime. What we are really talking about here is the Graham Dwyer case. He was convicted in this country with all the means, and I...
