Michael Healy Rae: begging for votes, how his parents' break up changed him & climate change is real

[@higherandhigher5848]

A highly interesting talk. MHR is a very special personality. I love his wit and his wisdom.

[@neildublin1]

What a treat to hear this interview with Michael Healy Rae. This is the first "Politician" I've heard whom I'd vote for hands down always unless he lost it which he won't. People like this who have a wide experience of life who are honest, who are happy, humble and smart at the same time are needed in Ireland as never before. A great interview with a great man even though I don't agree with him on some issues particularly the "Meat eating one" He stands head and shoulders above the people pleasers of most of our current Politicians.

[@markmoran916]

You think Healy Rae isn’t a people pleaser? You are very special type of dumb 🙄

[@jamessullivan5864]

I moved to New York from Longford a few years ago. We need politicians like him here

[@westbrit1020]

Michael and Danny look out for the people who vote for them but that is not anti anyone it is a counter balance , why would Kerry vote for people who don't care about the way they live ?

[@aljomc6444]

Michael is a very intelligent man. Danny is a nuisance

[@corionnacorcoran7732]

Very intelligent, interesting man streets ahead of alot in the Dail😉

[@seanbrosnan2074]

@@aljomc6444 yeah agreed. coming from kerry we think danny is a we bit of a drunk boy, michael is more smarter and hes very well liked here.

[@TANK12444]

Great Interview If we had Michael Healy Rae's in every constituency in Ireland we'd be in a lot better place

[@Unborn-Stillborn]

No ... just every county would be as backwards as kerry ... no thanks ...

[@drts6955]

Hahahahahahaha. I'm 5 minutes in and seeing that Rae's strength is clearly appealing to people's stupidity

What an interesting man. Really enjoyed this interview.

[@joebarry1974]

A very interesting and intelligent man. Best of luck to you Michael and the lads coming up behind you. You always put a smile on my face..

[@timcotter8879]

Totally agree

[@mauriceharmon]

Fair play to you Michael, your honesty is admirable you speak for us the people of South Kerry and the people of rural Ireland as a whole. Your straight forward honesty and respect for our forebears is one of the few counterparts to the new politically correct ethos of Irish society, which is rapidly replacing the church as the new religion of Ireland

[@barrycollins7667]

Michael how did you know I'd be here? Priceless.

[@royhardy407]

I like this guy and the way he does not take any crap. I am English and wish we had politicians like him with some balls.

[@db8134]

Lived in England for a while. The problem is the voting system. If David Alton could have got elected. He wanted to change it to proportional representation like here. But the lib Dems hadn't a chance. Maggie did a great job destroying his political career by redrawing the borders of the counties, changing his constituents. She must have felt threatened. There are good people in England, but the system keeps them out.

[@annedonnellan6876]

He doesn't take nonsense and deflects it in a polite way. Healy raes all the way

[@annedonnellan6876]

All politics us local

[@markmoran916]

I bet Roy lad you are a Brexit supporter?

[@i.r.aukrain8943]

IV always followed this man becuase I moved from the city young outpriced my family an men like this put us to work and into the gas and always gave wisdom and always understanding with the craic I loved it I shared sheep bogs castle drove tractors as a kid and loved it and would never change a min and could go to a farm bk in the day and get a day's work no matter the age fed paid reached and always made sure you got droped to your front door and community was key if you needed get any were like hospital waiting an ambulance your niebour wouldn't have it you be put in the car an they be apolagising they couldn't get there faster over the state of the roads and it was a great family dealing I learned a hell of alot more than kicking a football and in the city guns shots Rob cars and gangs would change it for the day in the bog the story's an in the pub after and you were apart of somthing big

[@Onlinesully]

another lovely interview

[@timcotter8879]

Well done Michael. A great public representative for rural Ireland. Best of luck in the upcoming election .i heard people in neighbouring counties to say that they wished they had a Healy Rae .

[@annedonnellan6876]

True. The Healy raes represent their irish constituents not the davos demagogues

[@Robbie7441]

Well done Michael fair play to you 😁👍from a proud dub.

[@orlasully]

Thank you my fathers from kerry I’m from cork

[@williamryan1984]

Wonderful Program. Many thanks.

[@paulmoloney4160]

He is spot on about every thing

[@michaeloconnor9809]

Plastic O Paddy 1000000000000% Like his brother and his father before him. And the cap, just a stage prop. It used to be considered poor manners to keep your hat on inside. No rules apply to him

[@eddieomordha9718]

Michael Healy Rae comes across as a very decent honest man, and that’s from a Hill 16 Dubs Supporter.

[@fionuala7]

I really enjoyed this interview...got more interesting as it went on

[@timcotter8879]

Totally agree with you about that

[@ethanearle9457]

I live in Wexford and if I could vote for the Healy rays I would because they work for the ordinary man not like the majority of the corrupt polititions out there

[@williamgoggin3633]

Genius

[@michaeldevaney5728]

Hees a likeable man Michael healy rae is a lovely man he is a credit to Ireland

[@doh-ray-meproductions4131]

Fair amount of tarmac underneath that cap 😂😂

[@dwa1422]

what does this healy rae think now about his two sons getting suspended prison sentences for assaulting and causing harm to an English visitor to Kenmare, Co. Kerry, over Christmas 2017. Jackie Healy-Rae, 24, who is his father’s parliamentary assistant and a county councillor, Kevin Healy-Rae, 22, Englishman Kieran James, 30, and his wife Lauren, objected to Kevin Healy-Rae jumping a long queue at a chip van in the early hours of December 28

[@bernadettecassidy3620]

Michael Healy Rae is refreshingly honest and straightforward!

[@db8134]

His dyslexia experience is amazing. Also the funeral. When someone is in the public eye, it makes things like funerals difficult.

[@Tigtuohy]

This man’s Kerry accent makes me think of my father, also from the Kingdom of Kerry. It’s like a song...

[@jaywarren333]

Next time get Danny on he’s good craic 😂👍🏻

[@theloniuspunk383]

Any talk on immigration/deportation?

[@theloniuspunk383]

Any policy at all?

[@lallyoisin]

Is this a promotion to take kids with dyslexia away? They're fine right where they are! This world appears different to us all therefore everybody is dyslexic or something -ic. There is no middle!

[@conor85882]

Could lishten to the man all day

[@tonyquinn7570]

Do you still think the same now with the Irish examiner report about the cut hours and the Skellig Hotel?.🤔

[@parkgate-ub1ey]

What's kerrys thoughts of the 6 counties ? Speaking as a protestsnt from the North , kerry looks beautiful

[@petermartin9335]

When comedians like this guy are taken seriously as ' politicians ' in Kerry, then we have problems ! The public health services in Kerry are third world. The hospital in Tralee is understaffed and their history of misdiagnosis isn't good, to say the least. One doctor on his own was on duty at Kerry General in Tralee on June 10 th 2021. Yes, one doctor. Waiting up to 12 hours to see this doctor to be told you have a terminal illness, is appalling. But, what are the Healey Rae's or any other politicians in Kerry doing about it ? Damn all ! ... is the answer !

[@lostfox27]

Are you trying to be a comedian yourself 😴😴😴

[@leannefranklin5011]

Unite Ireland Limerick support a united Ireland independent Frankie Daly is the same thing that's what an independent party is

[@jcallanan82]

He not playing up to anything that's the person he is....

[@annedonnellan6876]

Mhr does not need to beg for votes. He has an abundance if furst preferences... unlike the co taoisigh

[@malachimovies]

Has he an ideology beyond serving his constituency to get votes? For instance, does he have a view on a united Ireland?

[@i.r.aukrain8943]

I'm a Dublin man and not five minutes into this inter view I agree Healy rea a good man that's manipulated at every stand I also lived in the mid west Roscommon I no he is right stick your thumb out on a rainy day to get to apointments and you.l understand stop the coulchie cityboys been made to dislike each other a good man with very reasonable answers if you don't agree well your not travelled true Ireland and the difrent community's great farmers and also city men up the dubs Kerry always brings it fairplay to them

Are you looking after yours?

What a flute

[@petermartin9335]

So why does every email I send to Michael Healey Rae at oireachtas.ie bounce ? And emails to Paul Murphy TD don't bounce, and he replies ! That's the difference between right and left wing politicians in flea bitten banana republic, Ireland. Rae will delete this comment in gig time, but if I say he's a great man etc. my comment will survive ! Figure it out !

[@annedonnellan6876]

Check the spelling
