Confidence in Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2021-09-15
============================================================

Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

I believe we are elected here to do a different type of work altogether. We were elected to represent people that need caring or that need to go into hospital. Our hospital service is in a ramshackle condition in Kerry and west Cork.
The cost of living is going up and no one is saying anything about it. The cost of fuel, petrol and diesel is doing likewise. How will old people pay for fuel to heat their homes this winter? Will Government Members increase the fuel allowance? No, they will not. They will not even talk about it. It is a shame to waste time on yet another debate on a confidence motion.
