Think Michael Healy-Rae the wealthiest TD in the Dáil, is a man of the people? Lets have a gander at this cutest-of-hoors staggering finances and property portfolio....

He declared 14 houses for letting in Kerry, three guest houses, one rented commercial unit, a vacant premises, an apartment for letting, an unspecified number of apartments in a separate development, an unspecified number of rooms for letting, and student accommodation in Limerick. That's before you get to the rest.

Based on CSO median property price data for December 2025, his residential and guest house portfolio is estimated to be worth around €5.6 million. Twelve properties in the Killarney, Kilgarvan, Kenmare and Barraduff area, where the median house price sits at €332,500, give a rough valuation of €3.99 million.

Then his six properties in the Tralee and Castleisland area, with a median of €270,000, add another €1.62 million on top. The actual figure could be higher or lower. The register isn't that specific.

On the rental income side, 14 Kerry two-bedroom houses at current market rents would generate €18,340 per month, or €220,080 per year. https://t.co/eVNC8FjlgK figures show listed monthly rents on two-bedroom houses in Kerry rose 7.3 per cent last year to €1,310, with four-bedroom houses up 8.8 per cent to €1,879.

Then there's the land. He owns 100 acres of farmland and forestry in Kilgarvan, another 42 acres of forestry, and a further 4 acres of farmland elsewhere in the area. Based on the most recent Sherry FitzGerald assessment of €14,125 per acre for southwest farmland, the 100-acre holding alone could be worth around €1.46 million. The Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers values Munster forestry at €6,960 per acre, putting the 40-acre forestry plot at approximately €278,000.

His company Roughty Properties received €470,000 from the Department of Children in 2024 for Ukrainian accommodation, paid out month by month, €49,640 in March, €52,080 in April, and so on. He also draws income from Kerry County Council's rental accommodation and housing assistance payment schemes.

He has been a landlord since he was 18. When he first entered the Dáil in 2011 he already owned 14 properties! The register shows 16 properties in 2016, 19 in 2018, 21 in 2020, 24 in 2022, and 28 for 2025, including his family home.

Public records show none of the four companies he directs, Roughty Properties, Black Cap & Co, ML Healy-Rae Properties and Roughty Plant Hire, ever drew down a mortgage. The family plant hire business, now primarily run by his nephew Johnny Healy-Rae, recorded net assets of €4.6 million at the end of 2024.

It received €501,000 for Kerry County Council work in 2025 and €384,000 in 2024. Cork County Council paid a further €334,135 across the same two years. Ah but sure begorrah, he doesn't care about money. He's a lovely wee hat and sure he only cares about de poor folk like you and me...

Hey Americans, I might be a know-nothing Brit, but I can't help thinking that arresting your president for raping kids might be a better idea than letting him collapse the global economy and possibly end the world. Just a suggestion.

Modern day Seinfeld: Jerry dates a woman named Julia with views on the Middle East he hates but she has a giant rack. Kramer stockpiles barrels of crude oil to sell for a profit but didn’t realize it can’t go in cars, and now has to try to sell it back. George tries to make insider bets on DraftKings on Yankees trades but the team never makes any of the trades. Elaine is smitten by a handsome guy but won’t commit because he still listens to Diddy music since “Diddy never did anything to me.” Newman has to deliver mail to “J. Epstein” and is convinced Jeffrey must still be alive, so he stakes out the apartment, only to find it’s actually Julia, the girl Jerry is dating.

Was there a news story recently involving an Island and a politician, and some secret files or something? I can't remember? It's probably nothing.

I predicted this.

The Bray to Greystones Cliff Walk will not be reopened for at least three years.

This tells us everything we need to know about this Govt's ability to get things done.

EVERYONE wants to cliff-walk back open.
Local businesses are losing money.

Last year Simon Harris (former Taoiseach, current Tánaiste, current Minister for Finance and future Taoiseach) decided to personally intervene. He chaired a re-opening task force and publicly targeted March 2026 for reopening.

Now we’re told it can’t be done. This paragraph explains exactly why:

"Committee chairwoman Green Party councillor Erika Doyle said while the timeline given for the proposed full remediation project is “disappointing and not what any of us wanted to hear,” it acknowledged that statutory processes such as planning applications, environmental assessments and procurement, “stem from national and European legislation and cannot be bypassed”.

...and there it is.

Committees.
Processes.
Assessments.
Procurement.
No urgency = No delivery.

Simon Harris had a clear mandate: move heaven and earth for his local community and reopen a nationally important public amenity.

A leader delivers. Instead, we have rule by committee.

Today in the Dáil, @Toibin1 asked Harris if he was not "embarrassed by the length of time its taking to deliver infrastructure in his area".

thats what this is....
Embarrassing.

Epstein emails prove that Jeffrey Epstein helped Russian officials blackmail Donald Trump, meaning that Trump is compromised by Russia.
