Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (19 May 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: The people of east Kerry, Rathmore and Gneevgullia are being asked to go up to Limerick for the jab, which is a two-hour drive. It is the same as if the people of Cashel, Wexford or Cavan and Sligo were told to come up here to Dublin for the vaccine. I appeal to the Government to allow the people of east Kerry, Rathmore and Gneevgullia to go back to Killarney, a 20-minute drive, for their...

Forestry (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages (30 Sep 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...not wish to listen. The Minister, Deputy McConalogue, is also present. He is in government now. I also look to him to protect the farmers and landowners who have land planted in counties Donegal, Sligo, Roscommon or other places. The were advised to plant in the first place because the land was not arable and there was no other way of deriving money from it. There are now many places...

Strategic Communications Unit: Motion [Private Members] (20 Mar 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... It is a blatant attempt by the Government's party to boost its chances of retaining power and increasing power at the next election. The spin in the 2040 document and the announcement in Sligo at which the Government had all its candidates from the neighbouring constituencies out front was a blatant attempt to drive other small parties and Independents into the ground. Shame on the...

Leaders' Questions (2 May 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...any more figures. I know what is happening on the ground. The people of Kerry are just as entitled to their sight as those from any other part of the country. We told the Taoiseach about the Sligo model where someone who presents with a need for regular treatment will be seen in six weeks. If it is more serious, they will be seen after that in 12 weeks and if it is more serious again,...

Hospital Waiting Lists: Statements (9 Feb 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...but it is not working out for many people. As I have stated here many times, as has my brother, Michael, it is not acceptable that people have to wait two years to have a cataract operation. The Sligo model is working in other parts of the country but why can it not be applied to Cork and Kerry? I dealt with one poor man could not bear to go blind and he had to sell his car to get the...

Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Jan 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...and we are getting letters saying people will have to wait for a year and a half and two years. That is not acceptable for the people of counties Kerry and Cork. Why can we not introduce the Sligo model throughout the country and give all the people the same assistance?

Questions on Proposed Legislation (30 Nov 2016)

Danny Healy-Rae: People are waiting for up to two years for cataract procedures at Cork University Hospital. Can the Minister for Health operate the Sligo model in Cork University Hospital because the people of Kerry are disenfranchised and have to wait much too long? They will be blind for Christmas and for the next two years if these procedures are not rolled out.
