RTÉ: Statements (28 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister, Deputy Martin, has been in charge of her portfolio for four years now. Has the Minister ever had any concerns since she became the Minister about the massive size of payments to some presenters? Maybe some of them were worth it but I could name two that were not; Joe Duffy and Ray D'Arcy. Did the Minister ever consider how little was being paid to the people behind the...

Protection of Employees (Trade Union Subscriptions) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (28 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank the Independent Group for bringing this Bill to the House but I have my doubts and reservations about taking money out of people's pay packets and handing it over to trade unions. For too long now people have been coming to me from different sectors and walks of life to tell me that trade unions have let them down very badly. Cork University Hospital was mentioned earlier and the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thank all the witnesses for coming in and giving their time. I am very worried. When we see the finishing industry is practically gone, I am only wondering how far away agriculture is from that. One of the questions I have is whether young fellas will want to get involved or invest their lives in agriculture. I see it around the place that I come from. There are many young fellas whose...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I asked one question there. Do the witnesses think that young fellas are going to carry on where the old fellas left off? The other question is for Mr. McNamara. Why is it that they are focusing their attention on the water that is coming out of the farmers' yards? I will just deal with Kerry. Since 2007 or 2008, at that time, Scartaglin was first in line to get a treatment plan. It was...

Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (27 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to have the opportunity to contribute and I thank Sinn Féin for introducing this Bill. The report shows that waiting times for an appointment were between 80 and 200 days in some CHO areas. A 60-day wait for suicidal intent services is damning. Children went without proper monitoring while on anti-psychotic medicine and children were lost when transitioning from CAMHS to...

Recent Arson Attacks: Statements (27 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I too condemn the burning of any buildings or properties belonging to anyone. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. There are no two ways about it. Any right-minded man or woman would not support that kind of action. Of course, then, our own local people are very angry because if they opened their mouths and asked any questions, they were deemed to be racist. I refer to the people...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government has already finished the fishing industry. Following its MEPs' support for the vote in Brussels today, it is making sure it will kill off the agriculture industry as well. A total of 20% of our land and seas are to be excluded from farming or fishing, yet the Chinese are boasting they will have an extra 1 million cows in production this year. The South Americans are building...

Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2022 (Section 4(2)) (Scheme Termination Date) Order 2024: Motion (21 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I raised this issue with the Tánaiste, Micheál Martin, a number of weeks ago. I said it was totally unfair to give one section of the people in the country an advantage over another section of the people, those being private renters, our own people. It is grand for the Government to give what it wants to Ukrainians but it must do the very same thing for our own people. How can...

Danny Healy-Rae: Bus Éireann has the contract for delivering the school bus transport system, which takes all of our national and secondary school children to schools. It is a fact that there is a scarcity of school bus drivers. However, drivers of 70 years of age are no longer considered by Bus Éireann. It will not allow them to drive buses. Of course the safety of children is of paramount...
