Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Cost and Supply of Fertiliser in the European Union: Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (19 Jan 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Chairman for the opportunity to say a few words about this very serious matter. I am thankful to Mr. Santini for hearing us, but I am worried he does not understand the seriousness of the situation faced by the farmers we are elected to this House to represent and nor does the European body. Four or five years ago, farmers here were told to increase production of milk and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Cost and Supply of Fertiliser in the European Union: Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (19 Jan 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will move away from that but I have not told any lies. Organic fertiliser was mentioned. I do not where the options are for that, all of a sudden, or how farmers can supplement. As it stands, many of them will not have fertiliser of any kind because they cannot afford it. Those who can may try to, for a short time. The big question I have is how long this price increase is going to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Cost and Supply of Fertiliser in the European Union: Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (19 Jan 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: Yes. How long does Mr. Santini think farmers can keep going? They will not be able to produce as much if they cannot afford the fertilisers, namely, the nitrogen and the urea. How long does he think these poor, honest, hardworking people can stay at it? Does he think they are going to keep producing food? The record over the years is farmers might have one good year out of five. They...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Cost and Supply of Fertiliser in the European Union: Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (19 Jan 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: They were told it was the new white gold and they would have to increase production. In one fell swoop, all these fellows put their shirt, everything else and every bob and copper they had into their farms, including new machinery, more cows and all the cost involved in dealing with manure and other waste. They have spent much money on that end as well in order to be environmentally...

Appropriation Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (15 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: Part of the Bill relates to ensuring money can be rolled over from projects that are not completed or carried out in the current year and transferred to the following year. I am putting in my stake in respect of any moneys left over. There are 676 local improvement schemes on a list below in Kerry. Last year, 11 of them were done and 19 were done this year. It is totally unfair on those...

Animal Health and Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Instruction to Committee (15 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I hear the Ministers talking about planting native trees but they have the forestry industry finished. For a long time, it thought it was the case that Department officials were lagging. Others thought that objectors were causing the delay in the issuing of felling licences. However, I now honestly feel that it is the Government and these Ministers that have the whole thing completely...
