Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2020: Motion (1 Dec 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...of the loss in gate receipts and other fundraising events it would have had. I am sorry many lies were told by the Social Democrats around the funding and about the care owners take of their dogs. I did not meet one person in all of Kerry last weekend who was against giving the money to the greyhound sector. They had high praise for it and thanked us for ensuring the funding. For...

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

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get an opportunity to talk on behalf of the greyhound owners in Kerry who love their dogs. It is their culture and their sport and they are entitled to have it, 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...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse and Greyhound Fund Regulations 2020: Motion (24 Nov 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...up. It is not true to say that 6,000 greyhounds were killed or that they went missing. I reject and resent that very much. Really, maybe they do not know where they went but it is a fact that when the dogs get older they are not as visible. They are visible to their owners. They foster them out to other people who want a dog in their homes. That is happening and will continue to...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (3 Nov 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...who operate game shooting live for the three winter months of November, December and January for hunting and game shooting pheasants, woodcock and so on. It makes no sense to stop a man and his dog going up a lonely slieve, bog or wide open territory. If the Taoiseach is to continue with these rules and regulations, he will lose the people. It is fine when it makes sense to the people-----

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...attraction and is a serious loss to business in Tralee. The move to cut three race nights from the monthly calendar by the Irish Greyhound Board and relocate them to Cork and Limerick has hurt many dog owners and will certainly hurt business in Tralee. I support the request of Ken Tobin of Tralee Chamber Alliance that Kerry be separated from Cork city when it comes to economic...

Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2019: Second Stage (2 Oct 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...of time and I have no doubt that it will carry on for a long time to come. The greyhound programme that depicted the greyhound industry in such a bad light was not fair on people who love their dogs, would do nothing wrong to their dogs and have fortunes invested in their dogs. I met a man the other day who said he had €22,500 invested in his dogs. They would not have those...

Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2019: Second Stage (2 Oct 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: Just one second. The programme stated that more than 6,000 greyhounds were unaccounted for, that they had been put down and were treated badly. I can assure the House that I met one dog that was ten years old and one would not know that he was not a six month old pup.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Oct 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...by a Dublin-based Minister who also prevented the cutting of hedgerows in August. They believe that the Minister does not understand the amount of money and care they have invested in the dog industry or the love they have for the dogs. They are outraged by the demand of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, that coursing and the greyhound industry be taken off...

Written Answers — Department of Rural and Community Development: Dog Licences (9 Apr 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: 572. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development if the waiver of dog licence fees for persons with autism and disabilities that use assistive dogs will be extended; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16064/19]

Autism Support Services: Motion [Private Members] (2 Apr 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... It means that we have to give the person with autism the resources that he or she requires to get the most out of himself or herself. Finally, there is a lack of funding for Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland. I acknowledge how valuable it is when a child receives such a dog because assistance dogs, as the organisation itself states, are changing "the world for children with autism"....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Local Link and Rural Transport Programme: National Transport Authority (27 Feb 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Who gave the order that morning checks were to be carried out? It is a fact that people in rural Ireland are frightened. They are like rabbits in a hole, afraid to come out in case the fox or the dog might catch them. They are terrorised in their homes. They cannot have a social drink, as they could before. I knew this would happen before it happened, because I meet people on a 24...

Greyhound Racing Bill 2018: Second Stage (6 Feb 2019)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...board. Many people were up here a year or so ago complaining about doping and illegal activities, so we hope the Bill will help eliminate all those activities and give people who love the industry and their dogs the chance to be treated fairly, whether it is in racing, training or whatever side of the industry in which they are involved. This activity is taken very seriously in most...

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (23 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...are actually trying to achieve because what we have done so far is to make an absolute mess of it. The one person who has been highly vindicated is the person who christened this Bill a dog's dinner. It was probably the most apt description of a Bill that ever came before this House. Nobody can question his judgment, because his judgment and verdict on this Bill was 100% bang on and he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Hen Harrier Programme: Discussion (30 Jan 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...and Trade, and Commissioner Phil Hogan - that big man out in Europe - to look after these people. We must represent the minority, as well as the majority. Too often in this Chamber the tail is wagging the dog. These people are entitled to fair play and they have not been getting it. When I raised the matter with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine in the Dáil back in...
