Order of Business (20 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...It is a fact that there is no broadband. It is a day's work to leave Glencar or Sneem and go to Kenmare, and one must have an appointment arranged. It is absolutely ridiculous. Heretofore, the Garda could give one an ML10 form-----

Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (31 Jan 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...about little babies for the past few days and weeks, but they are human beings too and we need to protect them. Legislation and technology together must protect them from these threats. The Garda does not have the resources to trace the phone numbers of those who make threatening calls or do different things. Only now does it have the capability to follow someone who has committed a...

Leaders' Questions (18 Jan 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...members of the council have tabled numerous other motions on this issue. Recently, a lovely, beautiful young girl was tragically killed crossing the N22 at Glenflesk. Fr. George Hayes, the Garda, local people and people from neighbouring parishes are asking that the speed limit be reduced from 100 km/h to 60 km/h at Glenflesk. I do not have anything against people in Lissarda or...

Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...committed to taking in 4,500 refugees. We are told that 55 men are being moved into Linden House on New Road in Killarney. There has been no consultation with the local authority or the Garda, whose station is on the same road. There are community schools and national schools, including the Presentation convent school and St. Brendan's College, on the same road. Some 55 men are being...

Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Minister of State with responsibility for this, Deputy Stanton, is present. Will he consult with the community, the Garda and the local authority or will he take this high-handed action without giving local people a say in what is happening?

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ..., even if he got everything he ever wanted, he would not join Deputy Enda Kenny and Fine Gael. However, he did. As far as I can make out, the only thing he got out of being Minister is Stepaside Garda station and to be allowed bring this Bill before the Dáil to isolate and frighten the people in rural parts of Ireland. I am amazed that more Ministers are not sitting beside the...

Order of Business (28 Nov 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: Before the controversy over emails in the Department of Justice and Equality there was a proposal to reopen six rural Garda stations. That commitment is certainly in the programme for Government. The Taoiseach has said there is a proposal to open three Garda stations in Dublin but Dublin is not rural. In light of the level of rural crime, I ask the Taoiseach to reopen a Garda station on...

Rural Crime: Motion (21 Nov 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The closure of so many Garda stations in 2013 was a serious mistake. These stations dated back to the foundation of the State and they gave confidence to the elderly and all who lived in rural parishes. A common request I receive is a request for public lighting. People are afraid in dimly lit streets, crossroads and various places. It is a continuous request to have public lighting so...

Tracker Mortgages: Motion [Private Members] (25 Oct 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to give it to them. That is what the banks have been doing and there is no accountability. I am asking the Ministers to do something. They should get the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Garda Commissioner to round these people up and bring them to account because they know who they are.

Finance Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (25 Oct 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...in the last few days. Emigration is still happening and rural Ireland is badly affected by it. Let us just take a place like the parish of Lauragh, where the two shops, the post office and the Garda station have all closed. There is nothing there now to identify it as a parish in its own right, barring one pub down in Kilmackillogue. Everything is closing. This is what is happening in...

Financial Resolutions 2018 - Budget Statement 2018 (10 Oct 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...tax threshold has not been increased enough for farmers and small businesses. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae said that the bereavement grant should be restored. So many people have been hurt by its abolition. Many of our Garda stations were closed and it is sad that there is no mention of them being reopened.

Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government (14 Jun 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...at the pace required to address the housing shortage. The Department has placed to many hurdles in the way. Despite all that has been said, rural Ireland is still in decline. Post offices and Garda stations are closing and services are being centralised. To take the centralisation of the ambulance service as an example, last Sunday evening a person in Sneem spent an hour on the road...

Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Apr 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: Promises were made in the programme for Government that in light of the fact that many rural Garda stations were closed, policing in rural areas would not be compromised. However, we find the Killarney division of An Garda Síochána is very short on numbers. Indeed Ballyduff Garda station, which is located in a town that has experienced of robberies, which was never signalled to be...

Questions on Promised Legislation (12 Apr 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: It was promised that rural policing would not be compromised by the closure of Garda stations. Why is the Government not giving the numbers required to the Killarney division?

Mother and Baby Homes: Motion [Private Members] (21 Mar 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...people want to know whether anyone can be brought to account for the wrongs that were done to so many children and young women. Deputies should not be haggling over which amendment to support. The Garda has a role to play in getting to the truth to ensure everything about what happened to the victims is made clear and, if possible, all the survivors are compensated properly. This...

Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Feb 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Taoiseach promised he would open six Garda stations. Where are they being opened?

Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Feb 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: My question is on promised legislation. The previous Government, led by the Taoiseach, closed many Garda stations around the country. People are suffering because of that. Many homes in Glenflesk and other rural parts of Kerry were plundered and had valuable items taken from them in recent times. There is hardly any Garda presence in the entire Kenmare Estuary to defend communities...

Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Feb 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: On promised legislation, the Government has committed to the opening of six Garda stations. Has the Taoiseach met the Garda Commissioner, Nóirín O'Sullivan, to agree the six Garda stations to be opened? Will some of these be in south Kerry, especially since the whole 55 mile stretch from Kenmare to Caherciveen is left without a Garda station? Will some of them be restored? Will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Road Safety Strategy: Discussion (8 Feb 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...behalf of the road hauliers. They maintain they are being over-regulated and that they are being driven down to the ground by so many different road authorities and the associated enforcement. The Garda and roadworthiness certificates are examples. Lorries have to be tested every eight weeks as well. Then the RSA comes along, even where the lorry is new, and pulls the driver aside for...

Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Dec 2016)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to the Minister of State, Deputy Seán Canney, I am grateful to him for what he has tried to do for the county. One authority must deal with flooding problems. Inland Fisheries Ireland has a say in this matter, which means people are threatened with the Garda, jail or the loss of farm payments if they go near a river. Our rivers are clogged up and blocked for this reason. When...
