- Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No. 2) Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (3 Jul 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am concerned about the fair deal scheme. I highlighted my concerns when we originally debated the Bill. Nothing will ever change my opinion that assessing the farm for the fair deal scheme is wrong. In every other instance, only the dwelling house is assessed. If the Government were to be fair, only the dwelling house on the farm would be assessed in these cases. This decision is...

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government is accepting dwellings in every other instance, but where the dwelling house is on a farm, it wants the farm and all. That is not right.

Denis Naughten: I wish to speak about amendment No. 4, in my name, and also the amendments of the Minister of State. I thank the Minister of State for her engagement on this issue. It dates back nearly to the time of the original nursing home support scheme, which dates from 2009. Very soon after the enactment of the legislation on the nursing home support scheme, we found an anomaly concerning family...

Micheál Martin: Sinn Féin is going to oppose a proposal for four to six members of the Defence Forces, per year, to participate in an energy management course that will cost €1,500. It is doing so for reasons I do not know. That is Sinn Féin's foreign policy for you. We have 17 installations. The Defence Forces are the biggest users of energy in the public service. Why is there an...
