Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (24 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...been doing, what it is doing and what it will continue to do while leaving the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, directing what to do. The whole country is up in arms about flooding. Businesses have been ruined and destroyed. The Government will have to realise that if we do not clean out rivers and gullies people will be flooded. There has been building on flood plains, as was done in...

Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998: Motion (29 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...a bit of stuff. That is what is going on in all our towns and villages, even in the most rural parts of Kerry. They must be rooted out and the issue must be dealt with because our youth are being destroyed. I wish to raise another, more local issue, a new Circuit Court house for Tralee. We need to agree a site. Urgent discussions should take place now between all the interested...

Mother and Baby Homes Redress Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (23 Nov 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...imagine that? Last year, the Government tried to keep the records from those trying to contact sons or daughters and, likewise, sons and daughters trying to find their mothers, and stated that they had been destroyed. It must be a divine right that a child is not impeded from finding out the identity of his or her mother or father. No arm of the State should in any way impede a person...

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (3 Nov 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...and that these environmentalists in Europe are trying to stop such exports. That would be a disaster for the Irish beef and dairy industry because it would increase the stock of beef animals and destroy the farming situation entirely. I appeal to the Minister of State to fight for the continuation of the export of dairy-bred bull calves because we are an island nation and it takes a good...

Judicial Council (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (1 Jun 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...he got, but someone had to pay a dear claim and it put up his insurance because of the actions of the insurance companies. It is very evident to me that the insurance companies and the banks are destroying young people. They are not giving them a chance to either put a roof over their heads or to put a car on the road. Young people are entitled to get a chance to go on the road and...

Project Ireland 2040: Motion [Private Members] (1 Apr 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...organisations to build up their herds, they are now being told to switch off the lights and reduce the numbers. The very same scientist who gave the figures on methane gas 15 years ago and said farmers were destroying the environment has admitted he was 70% wrong. This is what is being done to poor farmers. They get up in the morning and work seven days of the week, 365 days a year, and...

Greyhound Industry: Motion [Private Members] (25 Nov 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ..., like everyone else. To say that it is wrong to give this money to the greyhound industry is totally wrong. These people deserve and are entitled to their sport. RTÉ said that 6,000 dogs were destroyed but that is wrong. I can give an example of a father and two sons who had 35 old dogs between them. They rehomed the animals themselves. They are looking after them. The dogs...

Flood Prevention Policies: Motion [Private Members] (4 Nov 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...so there should be no reason that this work is not carried out immediately. As I said, work needs to be done at White Bridge on the Flesk river near Killarney, given that a caravan park there has been destroyed on many occasions. We then come to the small but important things. The section man on the road was keeping the inlets open and ensuring the drains were kept open, but that is...

Vote 38 - Health (Revised) (30 Jun 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...will have to pay the price. If there is to be retribution, we should go after it, because what has happened to our country is not fair. Our lives and the lives of everyone we represent have been destroyed and upset.

Firearms and Offensive Weapons (Amendment) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (2 Oct 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...crime and it is on the increase. We have to ask ourselves why. Many believe that it is because of drugs and that it is used by these villains who supply and are in command of drugs and who are destroying our communities. We hear so much of it every day. I know it will be difficult for the Garda to apprehend these fellows. I believe now it is coming close to the time when the...

Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: From the Seanad (5 Jul 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... However, this amendment is like signing a blank cheque. We know the Minister of State and trust him, thus far. However, this amendment may open the gap for some lunatic of a Minister who would destroy a county such as Kerry------

Select Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...say otherwise. I was brought up not to leave animals go hungry and to treat them right at all times. Some Deputies are complaining that roadside hedges should not be cut because to do so would destroy habitats for nesting birds and so on. I do not believe that birds are so foolish as to make their nests on the side of a busy road or any road. They have the entire countryside. I will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Heritage Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...one. School buses are refusing to do school runs because of what is happening. The roads are very narrow and there is room for only one vehicle. As Deputy Collins said, they are being scratched, torn and destroyed, which is not fair. Will people be asked to stay in the middle of roads because of an insect or something else? All we are asking for is fair play for the people who are...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Review of the Capital Plan: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (22 Mar 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Government will not fund it even though we are being told that money was never cheaper to borrow than at present? It is not as if the work is not there to be done, because my county is completely destroyed for the want of proper infrastructure. We cannot attract jobs, investment of any kind, creed or description. Where did Kerry Co-op, our own jewel in the crown, finish up? A few miles...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...when I was a member of Kerry County Council, birds are not so foolish to build nests on the side of the road where a lorry could whisk off all of their feathers, blow their nests to smithereens and destroy their families.
