Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed) (24 Apr 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...increase in young cattle becoming strong steers or whatever, the price of those cattle will decrease and it will be impossible for some dairy farmers to sell their calves economically. We are an island country, so selling our calves to Europe and various other places is our only option. I appeal to the Department not to make the system overly prohibitive. I caught the tail end of the...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...EU Parliament on 27 February and was supported by all Government MEPs, including our local MEPs, Seán Kelly and Billy Kelleher. This was very disappointing. This Bill sets out that 20% of our land and sea areas must be taken out of food production and rewet by 2030. This could mean that homes could be flooded. The Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, is very concerned and says...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Mar 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...is almost gone - it has been nearly wiped out - because of inaction. Agriculture is next. When farmers have to cut back so much, their business is no longer viable and they cannot stay on the land. It is a struggle at present. What has been done to farmers' sons and daughters in recent days? The category of licence for driving a tractor has been changed. They say you must have an...

Recent Arson Attacks: Statements (27 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...300 people. All those people asked for at that meeting was that the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, or someone from his team, would go down and meet them. They failed to do that. Some 77 men were landed in alongside a 90-year-old woman, whom everyone worried about because no one knew where these people were coming from or anything. The honest truth of it is that Garda cars are there...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: The farmers always took care of the land, more than the likes of some people------

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...has already finished the fishing industry. Following its MEPs' support for the vote in Brussels today, it is making sure it will kill off the agriculture industry as well. A total of 20% of our land and seas are to be excluded from farming or fishing, yet the Chinese are boasting they will have an extra 1 million cows in production this year. The South Americans are building up their...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Road Projects (20 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to be progressed in this year's programme. I attended the Oireachtas transport committee last Wednesday evening and when I asked Peter Walsh, a senior official of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, whether this project was on the programme, I learned from him that it was not on the national development plan for 2024. To say the least, the people of Kerry are very disappointed with...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (14 Feb 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...in 30 or 40 settlements around Kerry. We are roaring and shouting at the Government to do something about it, and that is just in Kerry alone. Some of the plants we have are not up to scratch. Take Castleisland, for example. I have documents that belonged to my father above in an ould shed on the farm. They date back to 1986, when people were looking for an extension to the sewage...

Renters: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (5 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... He has a partner and a little girl and would like to do something about a house, but they are up against it. I hope the Minister of State can understand the concern I have for those people. The HAP scheme is so intricate and involved that any landlord who would like to rent a house says, when asked whether they will take HAP, there is no way in the world they will. They will not...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: He is spending two weeks in Dubai, where they do not give one tuppence about him because they will drill for oil, shove the land out into the sea and they will build cities, and we cannot build a house here because people cannot get planning permission to put a roof over their heads. That is what we have here.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (5 Dec 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... He worked hard to bring his herd up to this figure. He has told me that his adviser has told him that he will have to reduce this number to 48. This is because he cannot rent or buy any more land, as it is too expensive. This is the first time in history the farmers of Ireland have been compelled to cull their cows. If we do reduce production, it does not follow that consumers...

Consultative Forum on International Security Policy Report: Statements (22 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... Who paid for them? They did not pay for them anyway. It is the fellas who are working all over the country and are out early in the morning who are paying for them. The asylum seekers were landed in alongside a 94-year-old woman without any consultation whatsoever. I have been begging here for a week or more for the Minister or his team to go and talk to the residents of the...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Nitrates Usage (21 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...of cows they need so no one will be buying the extra cows or heifers, so there is only one place farmers can go with them. To keep the same amount of cows, farmers would have to buy or rent more land and that is just not possible for most of them. The only option they have is to send their heavily in-calf cows or heifers to the factory for slaughter. That is not a good thing to be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Access to Palliative Care and Social Supports: Discussion (21 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: One size does not fit all. Whatever laws we make, we should not try to interfere with nature or natural law. We did not determine when or how we got here. No law should be made in the land that would decide at what point we exit it. I will give a few examples. All of you have similar ones. About ten years ago, there was a lovely lady and the story was bad. She was going to die in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Concerns for Sourcing Winter Animal Feed in Shannon Callows Area: Discussion (8 Nov 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...heaps of gravel but we cleared the bushes and a great job was done. That was in 2018. The national primary route has not been flooded since. The floods are not anywhere near as much as on the lands. There were lands that were flooded for days but the levels used to go down again when it stopped raining. That is a perfect example. Not only did it reduce by 10 mm, the water would have...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...I am not happy with his response. He does not seem to be really concerned about it. In Kerry we have lost many lives, through people swerving and hitting trees. That is a fact. Large stags have landed on bonnets. Roads in Kerry are not safe, morning, noon or night. Deer are even going down into Valentia Island, Gneevgullia and Scartaglen. At any hour of the day or night people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's Response to Ash Dieback: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners (25 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...them earlier but had to go up and down for votes and had speaking time and so on. It is terrible to think that this is happening to this sector of our own people, who invested and set aside their land. I hear what Mr. White says about being very careful. There is a lot of talk about this planting of a hectare now and that it is the thing to do. I would say the same thing Mr. White...

Funding for Persons with Disabilities: Motion [Private Members] (17 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...died. She could not mind the strong daughter she has of 32 or 33 years of age. The only offer of a residential care place she got at that time was in County Meath, up against the Six Counties of Ireland in the North. In fairness, I appreciate the Minister of State's intervention. I do not know if she is there all the time but she is only there on a temporary basis as such. I am...
