Irish TD Danny Healy-Rae causes controversy with climate change comments

KERRY TD Danny Healy Rae's controversial comments on climate change have lit up social media in Ireland.

During a Dáil debate on the topic yesterday, Mr Healy Rae, who is the son of former TD Jackie and brother of current TD Michael, said that climate change was out of our control.

"God above is in charge of the weather and we here can’t do anything about it," he said.

He went on to say climate change had nothing to do with "combustible engines".
