Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2023)

Michael McNamara: I want to revert to an issue I have raised with the Tánaiste on a number of occasions, namely overcrowding in the accident and emergency department of University Hospital Limerick, UHL. This morning, there are 90 people on trolleys in UHL. That is a good day now. It would have been unthinkable a number of years ago but there are 90 people on trolleys this morning. Almost one quarter...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (13 Jul 2023)

Michael McNamara: I wish to revert to the issue of overcrowding in hospitals across the country, in particular, the hospital closest to me, which is University Hospital Limerick, UHL, in Limerick. I wish to put it in context as well because, on 14 January 2014, then Deputy Micheál Martin raised the spectre of overcrowding in hospitals. He stated that the Minister had neglected it as a priority in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Proposed Appointment to University Research Post: Department of the Taoiseach (27 Apr 2022)

Michael McNamara: ...happened to coincide with Dr. Holohan's. There are many people who were key figures in the Covid-19 response leaving the HSE, and there appears to be many people leaving together. However, to revert to my question, Mr. Fraser would agree with me that procedures around this would be advisable and potentially beneficial in the public interest.

Finance Bill 2020: Second Stage (Resumed) (5 Nov 2020)

Michael McNamara: ...shares eventually. That debate has largely been had and lost. We are not seeing its effects yet, but we will. I am concerned about where we are heading economically, but that is the macro picture. Let me revert to the micro picture. We are spending vast sums of money, some of it necessarily, large amounts of it unnecessarily, to deal with Covid-19 and its effects. The arrival of...

Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: State Response to Recent Spike in Covid-19 Cases (26 Aug 2020)

Michael McNamara: I appreciate that. Mr. Reid might also revert to me in writing about how the plan to scale up indigenous production is coming along. I have been looking through the HSE website and I do not see advice for incoming travellers, although I see a link to other advice. I might raise that matter with the witnesses after the session because there is no point in all of us looking at mobile phones...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Beef Data and Genomics Programme: Discussion with Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (2 Jul 2015)

Michael McNamara: ...staff members, including the witnesses, have performance-related or profit-related pay, because obviously there will be a great deal more business coming its way as a result of this programme? To revert to the question asked by Deputy Deering, what was the ICBF's role in the design of the scheme? Was it consulted formally or informally at any point along the way and if so, when? Did the...

Merchant Shipping (Registration of Ships) Bill 2013 [Seanad]: Report Stage (27 Nov 2014)

Michael McNamara: ..." to the register. While I am conscious of the time, the Minister also stated he cannot be more prescriptive at this Stage. While I do not wish to be unkind, one might suggest the Minister should revert to this Legislature when he has more detail and is ready to tell Members what exactly he plans to do. Members have had experience of giving Ministers empowering legislation and to be...

Roads Bill 2014: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Feb 2014)

Michael McNamara: ...by requiring the opening of drains at the same time as a road is being fixed. I am not suggesting wording for an amendment at this stage but the Department might look into it. Perhaps we will revert to it on Committee Stage. I am aware that the Department gives considerable grants to local authorities to repair roads, as I mentioned. An inspectorate in the Department used to carry out...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Sale of Coillte's Harvesting Rights: Discussion (Resumed) with IMPACT (14 May 2013)

Michael McNamara: ...deforestation and others were planted but the crop did not grow. Those areas would be far better off if the crop was taken off. A cost would still be involved even if Coillte allowed the land to revert to its original state. Obviously Coillte must maintain its forestry areas and would have to replant them or replant a commensurate area somewhere else. Therefore, Coillte would have to...
