Healy-Rae
"I'm pure Healy-Rae through and through, and I'm proud of it!" says Danny Healy-Rae, the outspoken Independent TD for Kerry. The Healy-Raes are a political dynasty in Kerry, with Danny and his brother Michael both serving as TDs. Their father, Jackie, was also a TD, and their grandfather, Dan, was a senator.
The Healy-Raes are known for their outspoken views and their strong support for rural Ireland. They are often seen as the voice of the people, and they are not afraid to speak their minds. This has led to them being both loved and hated by the Irish public.
Some people see the Healy-Raes as a breath of fresh air in Irish politics. They say that they are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in, and that they are always willing to fight for the people they represent. Others see them as populist demagogues who are only interested in getting votes. They say that the Healy-Raes are more interested in self-promotion than in actually doing anything for their constituents.
Whatever your opinion of them, there is no doubt that the Healy-Raes are a force to be reckoned with in Irish politics. They have a loyal following in Kerry, and they are always willing to speak their minds. Whether you love them or hate them, the Healy-Raes are sure to be around for a long time to come.
