Danny Healy-Rae: ...witnesses who want this to be retained. I will let the committee know where I come from. I have lived in a pub all my life and I understand what publicans around Kerry and even in north west Cork and south west Cork are going through. Knocknagree had seven vibrant pubs but is now down to just one that is open throughout the week and one more that is open for two nights a week. If...

Appropriation Bill 2022: Second Stage (13 Dec 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...go back. The Minister is taking over as Minister for Finance at the end of the week and I wish him well in that role. I look forward to asking the Minister for things for Kerry into the future. As he is a Cork man, I am sure the Minister will look favourably on us. I would hope he will do his best for Kerry. These are sensible requests. I talk about 660 roads and it is ridiculous....

In places like Kilgarvan - it is replicated all around south Kerry, down into Ballingarry, which is north-west Cork, and over the other hill into south-west Cork - all you have are a few fields maybe in one corner of the place and the rest of it is all bushes, bog, rock and every kind of misfortune you...

Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...and allowed not to happen in that hospital is totally unsavoury. We in the hinterland of Kerry, all the way down into Cahersiveen and Valentia Island, and even people from parts of north-west Cork and west Limerick, depend on the hospital so much.

Danny Healy-Rae: ...tied into contracts. There is a problem with taxis at night; they are just not operating because it is not worth their while. We see where trawlers are parking up. One transport company, close to the Minister in Cork, is parked up this week. The Government is taking almost double in tax now from fuel than it did 12 months ago. Surely it is time to give back some of the extra tax it...

Our Lady's Hospital Navan Emergency Services: Motion [Private Members] (21 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...capacity at University Hospital Kerry. We are waiting for consultants and we cannot get nurses. Why is it that we cannot recruit consultants, nurses or staff in University Hospital Kerry and yet Cork University Hospital and the bigger hospitals have no problem in doing so? Is it the way the HSE is not offering them enough? Then we heard this morning that HSE officials or consultants...

Energy Security: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to speak on this very important motion this morning. I thank Deputy Collins for highlighting the very attractive proposal of utilising the Barryroe oil and gas field off the south coast of Cork.

We rely on people like Finbarr Marshall from Ballygarvan and Flor O'Brien from Kenmare to draw the fodder from other places like Cork. Will the Minister include something for those people? Will the payment be made as soon as possible because many farmers just do not have money to carry on?

To...

It is important for the vibrancy of Tralee and to facilitate youngsters from Kerry, Cork and the entire area. We are educating people to the highest standard but we do not seem to be able to hold on to them. There is a shortage of staff in every area. Whether it is...

At times, we have been left without ambulance cover in our county for days because an ambulance is directed to Cork and then finishes up going to Waterford and on to Clonmel. What happens is that our county does not have adequate cover. I appeal to the Minister. I do not know if the Government has...

National Ambulance Service: Motion [Private Members] (16 Nov 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...the reconfiguration of the National Ambulance Service. What it actually meant was a reduction of the ambulance service. Ambulances are being deployed from south Kerry deep into the heart of west Cork. Recently an ambulance crew started off at 8 o'clock in the morning and took a patient to Cork University Hospital. When they pressed the button coming out of there, they were sent to...

Financial Resolutions 2021 - Budget Statement 2022 (12 Oct 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...is not acceptable. The ambulance service was reconfigured in 2012 or 2013, but now there is often no ambulance to be found in Tralee, Killarney, Kenmare or Cahersiveen because they may have been sent to Cork, Kinsale or somewhere else around the country. People may be left on the side of the road following an accident. I am aware of a farmer whose fingers were cut off and another farmer...
