International Court of Justice and Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2024)

We are a very small country. All we can do is ask that there be a ceasefire. I wonder where the UN peacekeeping force is. Why is it not intervening or at least attempting to intervene? It is fine to have courts. We...

Services for those Seeking Protection in Ireland: Statements (30 Jan 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: This is a very important debate about co-ordination of services.

I have respect for all those people who come here working - as much as the Minister, Deputy Coveney, or anybody else. I have employed people from every part of...

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Deputy Ó Broin and Sinn Féin for bringing forward the Bill and giving us a chance to talk about renters and housing. Renters in many parts of Kerry are having severe difficulty finding a house to rent. The houses that are available may be too expensive. Landlords are sceptical of the HAP system and unwilling to accept the payment. There are houses to be found but many...
