- Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)
Paul Murphy: To deal with the topics at hand, I think Deputy Healy-Rae was suggesting we do not know where money comes from. I will tell you where it comes from. Money is wealth generated by workers. It is not generated by millionaires like you, Deputy Healy-Rae, who come in here, railing against increasing-----

Danny Healy-Rae: I am no millionaire. Withdraw that now because I can prove to everyone here I am not a millionaire.

Danny Healy-Rae: I cannot say yes or no about that because I do not know. And you do not know.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Can people please stop making personal remarks?

Paul Murphy: Fine. There is a game played in here, above all, by the Healy-Raes. There are others on that side of the House who come in here and play a game of being the ordinary man and woman standing up for ordinary people who do not believe in nonsense like climate change. The Healy-Raes, in my opinion, do not stand up for ordinary people. We heard just a moment ago the Deputy railing against...

Paul Murphy: -----and see that what is consistent is that while pretending to talk about common sense and all that good stuff, in reality, they represent the interests of the rich in this country. That is the truth of it. It is quite ironic today to have speeches telling us it is not possible to increase corporation tax or to have a tax on wealth. The reason it is ironic today is that I got a push...

Aindrias Moynihan: I will focus on a group of people who work day after day and at the end of the week and month still find it hard, despite that modest, reasonably decent pay cheque, and struggle to make ends meet. They are not looking for benefits. Often, they are not eligible for them. They are keen to hold on to a reasonable portion, and more, of their hard-earned pay. Economists might know them as the...

Danny Healy-Rae: I welcome the chance to talk about this amendment and the USC. First, I remember this USC was introduced when the country was in a desperate state. I was brought up by my father who taught me many things, thankfully. As many Members might know, I spent my days and nights with him from the day I started working until the day he departed in 2014. We milked the cows together, drove the...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am being heckled here from behind. However, there is plenty of money for those who curtail their farm work of food production. These are the ridiculous things that are going on. Yet, at the same time, the parties are all the one now. It was a different situation in the past. They have sold their souls and buried them in the ground when they joined Fine Gael first of all, and when...

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: We are supposed to be talking about the Finance Bill, Deputy.
- Finance Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Nov 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: What I am getting at is that they promised that as soon as the country got on its feet, they would abolish the USC charge. I am asking them to stand to their word and honour what was said by the remnants of what was there at that time. They should honour the word they gave that this USC would be scrapped altogether. It is very unfair and unjust. No matter how much or little - especially...
