Questions on Promised Legislation (16 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is not working in Kerry or Cork.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Burning of Land: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (8 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...any for Christmas, and he has not got any now. To me, that is repulsive. It is very wrong. In another instance, the man who has been penalised had just come through cancer and several trips to Cork on a bus for radium treatment. He did not set the fire. In fact, his brother rang the fire brigade and did everything possible to quench the fire himself, as did other farmers, who put...

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ..., as I believe they have, to cut dangerous hedges that pose a health and safety risk, it has not been happening in Kerry or any neighbouring county in which I travel, including west and north west Cork and parts of Limerick. People's lives are important and if someone is killed, there is no return. Many people are killed while walking and cycling along our roads. Considerable pressure is...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (25 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...major causes of fatalities. So is tiredness when driving long distances, as people have to do now. They have to get up early in the morning and drive from places such as Cahersiveen in Kerry to Cork or Limerick and drive back home again. It makes a long day out of it and people are tired driving. There is little public transport to help or assist people travelling these distances....

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (25 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...33 or 35 buses would be put in place to take people home. Surely he is not serious that they would cover all of the 26 counties or, if we leave out Dublin, 25 counties. We could also leave out Cork city. Those buses would not cover the rural parts of Cork or Kerry on their own. No realisation is given to what will happen people in rural Ireland. They are lonely as it is but they will...

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Report Stage (24 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ..., whether they are in Kilgarvan, the Black Valley, Cahirciveen or wherever else, have to undertake teacher training in different schools around their areas. Many of them are in university in Cork. They go there for a few hours and then go home to Macroom, Bandon or Killarney to finish the rest of the day. Can the Minister visualise how that is going to work? Who is going to travel with...

Fodder Shortage: Motion [Private Members] (17 Apr 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...back €106 million to the Exchequer in 2016 and over €70 million last year. The Minister should not give back a penny this year and give it instead to the farmers out there in Kerry and west Cork. There is only a distance of 20 miles between us. The Minister knows those farmers are in trouble and he should do something about it. I am asking the Minister again about this....

Services for People with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (27 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...is currently being moved, there is concern that people will be moved. I am calling for an independent assessment of how people moved to the congregated settings are getting on, whether in Kerry, Cork or anywhere else in the country, because for two people in Kerry it has not worked out. A few weeks ago I raised the case of a person who had been in St. Mary of the Angels for years and was...

Business Insurance: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: -----people from around the country and from Cork and Kerry. Their backs are to the wall-----

Project Ireland 2040: Statements (Resumed) (21 Feb 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... We were told that the purpose of this plan was to take people out of Dublin and build up the rural part of the country. We were told also that it would benefit cities such as Waterford, Cork, Limerick and Galway but, as I see it, this is another Dublin plan. There is very little in it for any other part of the country. I will read it again, but I did not see Kerry mentioned in the...

Dublin Traffic: Motion [Private Members] (20 Feb 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...for 22 years for the Macroom bypass. It is to be hoped it will materialise. Most of the county still does not have broadband. There is plenty of broadband here. It could be in Kerry, west Cork, or Clare if the people in power were minded to do that. They are hell-bent on doing things for Dublin. Everything has to be Dublin. I do not begrudge the people who live and work here in...

Order of Business (20 Feb 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...many failings in our health system and many waiting lists in various areas but what is most serious is when we hear of people waiting on the flat of their back to get a bed in the coronary unit in Cork University Hospital, CUH, and that they cannot be operated on. They wait two or three weeks for aorta valves and various procedures. A queue is building up as no beds are available in the...

Topical Issue Debate: Special Protection Areas Designation (31 Jan 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...and the Marine that pays compensation. This could not be more crooked. It is robbery, it is thievery, it is everything one could call it. What is being done to these people is the height of blackguarding. Cork North-West, the constituency of the Minister, Deputy Creed, includes part of the affected area. Ballydesmond and Lyre are in his constituency. Brosna, Knocknagoshel and places...

Topical Issue Debate: Special Protection Areas Designation (31 Jan 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: Yesterday I attended a briefing in the AV Room by a group of farmers from north west Cork, east Kerry, west Limerick and County Tipperary on the designation of their lands under the hen harrier programme, the lack of compensation for years and the scheme being put in place which they said did not adequately compensate them, following which the issue was discussed with them at a meeting last...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion (30 Jan 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...been taken from them. They cannot plant them. No wind turbine company will come into them. They cannot farm them at all. This is heavy land. We are talking about Ballydesmond, Cordal, Brosna and then on the Cork side there is Rockchapel and Newmarket, and then there is Castleisland and Knocknagashel. These lands are not fit; they are not like the Curragh of Kildare. A lot of work...

Shortage of Teachers: Motion [Private Members] (24 Jan 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...are not being paid enough. Many students have decided that teaching is not the way to go because of the wages and everything that it takes to become a teacher. If they stay in accommodation in Cork or Limerick, say, it costs over €100 every week and then there is €12,000 for the course. When all that is added up, it gives a reason why many students are not going into...

Leaders' Questions (18 Jan 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ..., local people and people from neighbouring parishes are asking that the speed limit be reduced from 100 km/h to 60 km/h at Glenflesk. I do not have anything against people in Lissarda or County Cork in general but a 60 km/h limit applies on the same road at Lissarda. Five fatalities have occurred at a dangerous bend at Rusheen Beg, which is down the road from Glenflesk. We ask that...

Hospital Trolley Crisis: Motion [Private Members] (16 Jan 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to Belfast in the North so patients can have cataract procedures. A second bus went up last week. Another is to go next week. Thirteen patients had procedures last Sunday. The patients, from Cork and Kerry, had to go from one end of the country to the other for a simple procedure. The staff involved are working over weekends and through the night. Why can we not pay staff to do the...

Home Care Packages: Motion [Private Members] (12 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...few minutes for him for whatever reason. There is something wrong in Kerry. We do not seem to have enough funding. I will give the Minister of State an example of another woman. She was in Cork University Hospital. I have spoken about boundaries today. One of our parishes is divided between Cork and Kerry. Half of it is in Cork, half is in Kerry. The people in the hospital said...

Home Care Packages: Motion [Private Members] (12 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: She would get 20 hours of home help in Cork, but only ten in Kerry. That is the truth.
