Danny Healy-Rae: I am, and I am a good friend of the people who ask me to do things for them and to raise things in here on their behalf. It is no good to me to see the Taoiseach smiling about this. The Government will do nothing about it, God damn it, man. The Government has not-----

Workplace Ventilation (Covid-19) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 Dec 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have this opportunity to speak to this Bill dealing with the emergency Covid prevention measures in the workplace.

Employment Support Services: Motion [Private Members] (30 Nov 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank Sinn Féin and Deputy Kerrane for bringing this very timely motion and allowing us to speak on it tonight. I will be supporting this motion.

When something is for profit, I am afraid the people who will suffer are...

Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2021: Motion (30 Nov 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Ceann Comhairle, and it is good to see him back in action again. I thank the Minister for giving this €88 million.

Should there not instead be a standing order that the horse...
