Annual Transition Statement: Statements (15 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to speak about this. My understanding of the words "just transition" is different from the Government's.

I guarantee the Minister of State that while we are elected here we will not be...

Some schools have benefited but more have not. I could give examples of many worried parents...

Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (1 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to talk about the important Bill before us. My only worry is the length of time allowed to put in amendments.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (1 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: One of the saddest parts of the coronavirus was when people, mostly elderly people, died alone in hospitals where they were not allowed visits.

Almost every aspect of society is open but in the area I represent, most hospitals and...
