General Practice and Local Health Services: Motion (20 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I too thank Sinn Féin for bringing forward this motion. We proposed a similar motion four weeks ago. It is important because so many areas, including Killarney and areas in south Kerry, are under pressure for GPs. Those areas are losing doctors. Even more people are being brought into the area but there is no other doctor to cater for those extra people. We are talking about...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (20 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Ceann Comhairle. New valuation figures for commercial rates and properties in County Kerry became effective on 1 January 2024. This has meant a massive increase for many ratepayers, in many instances, with the demands received in recent days doubled, trebled and even four times the amounts they normally pay back over the years. Many traders appealed the increased valuations by...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: It is not an exaggeration; it is the truth.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Tánaiste says he travels the world. He does, but he would want to travel a bit more around his own country, his own county of west Cork and Kerry as well. He should stay at home a bit more and maybe he would know a bit more about what is going on.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I wish to raise the serious predicament in which many farmers find themselves as a result of continuous pressure from the Green Party Ministers in the Government. The first thing is the proposed 25% reduction in emissions, resulting in a cull of 200,000 cows by 2030. Then there is the cost of carbon tax. Then we have the Chinese boasting that they will be increasing their herd by over 1...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: Some farmers in the Golden Vale and places like that will survive. The places I am talking about have poorer soils. Many smaller farmers are going to be wiped out. What they cannot understand is - and we are all under the one sky - how the Chinese can increase their dairy herd by 1 million cows this year alone and how countries in South America can also increase the size of their herds and...

Road Traffic Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (6 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I will ask the Minister of State a number of very serious questions. He is the Minister of State at the Department of Transport and there is a new regulation after being sent out whereby young drivers driving most vehicles will have to have an artic licence to cover them while driving. Does he realise the implications of this for young people who are trying to get going? What he is saying...

Road Traffic Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (6 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I appreciate that and it has not gone unnoticed. I will finish up. Will the Minister of State please clarify this matter? This is hurting all of rural Ireland on top of all the other adverse things that have happened in recent times, with the nitrates derogation and the nature restoration law that was passed over in Europe the other day without any thought of how it was going to hurt small...

Housing Targets and Regulations: Motion [Private Members] (6 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I have only a minute but there are a few things that need to be recognised. On voids, there is a house in the heart of the town of Killarney that has been vacant for five years. The Department is refusing to fund the €110,000 needed to bring that house back into use. That is only one of them. This rule where tenants cannot purchase a county council house if it was built after...

Supporting People with Disabilities and Carers: Motion [Private Members] (5 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I, too, thank Deputy Tully and Sinn Féin for bringing forward this timely debate. If the Government really wanted to help carers and people with disabilities, it could have clearly done so in the budget. The disability capacity review tells us that between €80 million and €90 million was needed yet the Government only provided €64 million. The €20 million...
