Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Banking Issues: Discussion (14 Sep 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will finish up. Post offices are busy as it is but I do not envisage them taking on the cash load that would fall to them if those banks I mentioned in Kerry closed. I see something wrong with the idea that An Post could manage of all that. In relation to the answer Dr. Hunt gave about what the Government knew, he stated an agreement was put in place in 2011 as to how the bank would tell...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: It was An Taisce that appealed the decision. Perhaps the Leas-Cheann Comhairle was not here for the start of my contribution.

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: That is so, but An Taisce caused the issue. Kerry County Council, in its wisdom, granted permission. The inspector came down and agreed with that decision. However, the application went back to An Bord Pleanála and was refused. That is where the matter lies. I am sorry that is the case because the people involved are good and hard-working. This is what An Taisce did to them. I do...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I too am very concerned by the rushing of this Bill. I fear it is going to adversely affect businesspeople, people who create jobs and people who pay their taxes and even pay for the likes of us in here. They contribute to the State's coffers in a big way. This Bill being rushed through like this will be at the expense of many hard-working people who are trying to do their best, create...

Rent Reduction Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (13 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank People Before Profit for allowing us this discussion. I appreciate that everyone is trying to do their best but, sadly, I see in this proposal a lot of nonsense that just will not work. The Bill does not state whether it is referring to local authorities or otherwise. In my view, the local authorities assess income and treat people on lower incomes accordingly. Those people pay...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Instruction to Committee (13 Jul 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I want to voice my opposition to the ramming through of this very important motion this morning, when only a handful of Deputies will get only a couple of minutes to talk. We certainly did not get time to deal with all these extra amendments. I am sure they will adversely affect many people who are trying to create employment. Ramming this through without any proper scrutiny reflects...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Instruction to Committee (13 Jul 2022)

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...
