Danny Healy-Rae: ...a future in front of them. We do not know where they will finish up now or what will happen to them. That is what is happening and it is widespread.

It is one of the major upsets happening in...

Health Service Reform: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2018)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...settings have to be reviewed. One size does not fit all. Two patients were moved out in the past three years and in June last year one of them was so agitated they kept giving him anti-psychotic drugs.

Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Dec 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...where all the services are available but where the social life is not as good. When I listen to the radio, every morning and evening someone has been shot or stabbed and there is trouble with drugs. There is no end to it at all.

Some people will choose to sleep rough because they are afraid to use hostels or places of refuge for various reasons, for example, the ready availability of drink or drugs, but I sometimes wonder if there are others who would not take any place to sleep to get them off the streets. I may be wrong in that regard. While Kerry County Council is proactive...

Rural Crime: Motion (21 Nov 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...station. They are all closed. It costs more, we are told, to keep them closed that it did to keep them open. Both sides of Kenmare bay are very exposed to all sorts theft, to the importation of drugs and all of the kind of villainy that takes place when places are not being properly policed.

There are three rural Deputies here and Senator Marie-Louise O'Donnell is representing Dublin. We...

Misuse of Drugs (Supervised Injecting Facilities) Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (8 Mar 2017)
