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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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 .
  • @Robbie7441
    Well done Michael fair play to you 😁👍from a proud dub.
  • Michael Healy Rae comes across as a very decent honest man, and that’s from a Hill 16 Dubs Supporter.
  • Hees a likeable man Michael healy rae is a lovely man he is a credit to Ireland

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