Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (1 May 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...youngsters. They need time. We appreciate all the volunteering that has been done by the likes of Derry Healy, Ritchie McAuliffe and the O'Keeffes in Gneevgullia. They all deserve great credit. The same applies to people in Rathmore and others right around the whole place. They are doing considerable work for the younger generation, and we must not interfere with this in any way. The...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Fadhb Thithíochta na Gaeltachta: BÁNÚ (10 Apr 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...road from the top of the town in Kenmare to Kilgarvan and on to the Kerry Way, which is approximately six miles from Killarney. For two reasons, people will not let those houses. First, they would pay 52% tax. I asked in the Chamber what would happen if the same rate was applied to the people who were renting housing to Ukrainians. There is a tax-free monthly payment of €800 to...

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: ...a serial objector. He cannot get the basic thing, the planning. On slurry spreading, they have a different rule altogether in the North of Ireland and that is only over the ditch line. You apply for a permit to spread it in dry weather. We are forced here to wait until it rains and we are flooded and tanks are full. What do they do? They have to spread it. That is one of things....

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...free. How could that be fair? On the other issues, I have no spite in the world for the Ukrainian people or no gripe at all to tease out with them. It is with the Government. I want the same conditions applied across the board with regard to the medical card and school transport. It is happening. The 13 children I spoke about who were not let on the bus have to wait in Killorglin...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (1 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...not entertain. Householders will get €800 per month tax free for housing Ukrainians. Local Kerry and Irish people do not have a hope of competing with that. I want the same tax exemption to apply to our own people who are trying to rent. There is no homeless centre in Killarney; homeless people have to go to Tralee. I do not have to say who is in that centre now. I know the...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (7 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: It has been indicated by the Department of agriculture that more than 18,000 farmers who have applied under the ACRES co-operation project stream will not be paid until next February at the earliest. This is not acceptable. Farmers need money for Christmas like everyone else. After a very tough year weather-wise - bad weather makes every chore more expensive and fodder is scarce and...

Immigration: Motion [Private Members] (6 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...card or any other benefit, even school transport. We have a two-mile rule for picking up children. They have to be from beyond two miles of the school to get the free school transport. That does not apply to children from Ukraine. Seeing as the Government can give free transport to children from within two miles of a school, or not more than a half mile away, it should provide the same...

Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (14 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...local authority should be able to do so. Many people who move into our county to live in a local authority house finish up not being on the register, even though they got a local authority house. The same should apply to voluntary housing run by Clúid or others. The approved housing bodies get their nominations from the local authorities. That is important. We need to create...

Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Housing Schemes (26 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government what exceptions are made for people on disability allowance who have been renting a local authority house for over 15 years and would like to apply for the tenant purchase scheme to buy that home (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the procedure for a Ukrainian person who has been in Ireland for a year and would like to apply for Irish citizenship; whether the usual procedure and charges apply, or if there a different system for Ukrainians; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Driving Test Waiting Times: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...and to work. They have been and are promised driving jobs but they cannot get their test. I had an instance a number of weeks ago where a father wanted his son to drive a van in his business. He applied for the test last January and he was told it would be this coming January before he would be invited to apply for a test. One could be talking about anything from 12 to 15 months. That...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Ireland's Forestry Programme and Strategy: Discussion (4 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...at some stage. Should the system not be more proactive? People with plantations should be advised on what they need to do about assessments and not to leave it to the last minute. Could they apply for their licences a few years before they need them?

School Transport 2023-2024: Statements (3 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...come into the country. While we welcome all those other children, there is an anomaly there. If you are inside the 2-mile limit you will not get what is known as a concessionary ticket but that does not apply to new children who come in. We have two sets of rules around Killarney and around many of our towns and villages whereby the new children who come in are bussed and it is...

Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...concerning County Kerry - that that was a very unusual departure. I said it was not acceptable for a Minister to lodge an objection to an application like this. Indeed, when one of my family members applied for planning permission a few years ago, the director of services advised me not to make a written submission for it. I had to be seen not to be involved, yet here we had a Minister...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Minister, Deputy Ryan, has neglected County Kerry for driving tests? Is it because he does not want young people on the roads? They have been waiting since last January and will wait until next January to be allowed to apply for a driving test. That is not fair on the young lads in our county.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Student Accommodation (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... These students have courses in Limerick and Cork at present and are finding it very difficult. I ask the Minister to do something to provide access to accommodation for these people who have applied for on-campus accommodation and cannot get it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Car Testing: Discussion (20 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...distances to travel. It is not good enough for young lads who need a licence to go to work or to travel long distances to college because they cannot not get places to rent in Limerick or Cork to apply last January and be told their test will be next January. These young lads are driving distances because they must travel from remote areas in the hills and glens of Kerry. Perhaps some...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Car Testing: Discussion (20 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am asking if the witnesses can do anything for Kerry, for Killarney and Tralee. Are we at the end of the line? Will Mr. Walsh admit that 12 months is too long to have to wait to apply for a test?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Car Testing: Discussion (20 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...do not think that Mr. Walsh really comprehends the situation that we have. It is just not acceptable and I am asking Mr. Walsh if he thinks it's acceptable to have to wait 12 months before one can apply for a test.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Car Testing: Discussion (20 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...not good enough. Again, I am calling on the Minister to do something for people who are waiting for 12 months and are being told that they will have to wait for 12 months before they can actually apply for their driving test. The Department should forget about it and let them on the road now until such time as the NDLS comes along with the test and gives them the opportunity to sit it....
