Danny Healy-Rae's actions a 'scud missile', says brother
Former minister Michael Healy-Rae has described the actions of his older brother, Danny, as akin to those of a "scud missile" blaming them for leading to his resignation as a junior minister.
Danny Healy-Rae's actions have been compared to those of a scud missile by his brother Michael, who blames them for his resignation as a junior minister. This occurred during fuel protests in April when Danny called for both the Taoiseach and Tánaiste to resign after an explosive radio interview. Michael, who negotiated a deal with protesters, resigned two days later, feeling shocked, upset, and betrayed by Danny's actions.
The documentary "The Healy-Raes: Blood, Sweat & Tears" explores the fallout from these events, which has caused a schism in the Healy-Rae political machine. Despite Danny's denials of a rift in the Healy-Rae camp, Michael's son, Cllr Jackie Healy-Rae, acknowledges the need for the collective to reflect on the situation and prevent future occurrences.
