An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am calling for a frank and open debate on the impact and effect the very significant number of refugees and asylum seekers coming into this country is having on our services, be it doctors, social welfare offices, hospitals, education and our hospitality industry in Kerry. We are very worried that it could be dismantled. I am saying to the Taoiseach that it is not enough to say the...

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? The association has operated these services since 1978 and the individuals who work in it are suffering because of the increase in...

Danny Healy-Rae: I respectfully ask the Minister to address the crisis in respect of the shortage of funding to deal with the provision of services by the Kerry Parents and Friends Association as section 39 workers who are struggling to continue to provide necessary services for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. They do specialised, challenging work and they operate to the highest...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank all the witnesses and the organisations here, especially Macra na Feirme. It is grand to see young farmers here who are concerned and who hope they can live out their lives farming. At one time it used to be a privilege, an honour and an advantage when the farm was given to the young fella that inherited the farm. It was an advantage for a long time but now it is a millstone around...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: -----that are going on. There has been no proper debate on this. All I am asking is that the people of Ireland be treated fairly. What I see in Kerry is replicated around the country in other counties. Every fella must look after his own. Whether Government or Opposition Deputies or Senators, we must all join together to ensure that fairness is meted out. We are all on the same page...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am very concerned about this fertiliser register. Many farmers in my area are seriously concerned because they need fertiliser to maintain the level of stocking they have today. Without it, there will be a reduction in their herds. It again looks like we are going backwards. We will be in the same situation we were in during the early 1970s, when everyone knew how many cows the grass in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will ask for clarification if I may regarding what Mr. McCormack said about farmers needing to be told in May or June how much fertiliser they have left that they can buy. They need to be told by their distributor, whether it is Kerry Co-Operative Creameries or another co-operative, before they run out or they will have nothing to spread in July or August in terms of fertiliser, silage or...
