Autism Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (29 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Labour Party for bringing forward this important Bill. We all know young couples for whom it is a very tough cross to bear when they find out their child has a problem.

We have our share of families that include children with...

EirGrid, Electricity and Turf (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (28 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is very clear to me and many others in this Chamber and around the country that the Minister's Government is running scared. This is a Bill to try to ensure we do not have blackouts. The Government has paid €450 million for gas generators but where will it get the gas? It could get cornered with that because the Ministers do not want to listen to anybody. We have an...

Insurance Reform: Statements (22 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity talk about this very important matter. The claim culture, awards by judges and no competition in the market certainly are combining to make insurance more costly than it should be.

Danny Healy-Rae: I, too, thank the Independent Group for bringing this very important motion before us today. I hope the Government will assist in doing something about the position of carers.
