Social Welfare Code (29 Sep 2011)

Michael McNamara: I wish to bring to the attention of the House anomaly in the social welfare code regarding the entitlement of retained firefighters to jobseeker's allowance which is affecting many of them across the country and in my constituency, Clare. Clare has 77 retained firefighters based at Ennis, Shannon, Scarriff, Ennistymon, Kilkee, Killaloe, and Kilrush fire stations. There is only one full-time...

Social Welfare Code (29 Sep 2011)

Michael McNamara: I welcome the announcement that the position of retained firefighters on jobseeker's allowance is being considered. If declining employment that is beyond a certain distance of a fire station is considered unreasonable, the whole rural fire service becomes untenable. It relies on men and women being available within 2 km of their fire station when on call. We have a choice of leaving the...

Hospital Services (21 Sep 2011)

Michael McNamara: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for providing me with an opportunity to address the House on the issue of health care at Raheen Hospital, County Clare. I regret that the Health Service Executive remains a bureaucracy which is completely out of control and utterly unaccountable to democratically elected representatives at all levels. I greatly commend the Minister for Health for his moves...

Hospital Services (21 Sep 2011)

Michael McNamara: I am somewhat encouraged to hear that it had been envisaged that the number of beds in County Clare would be reduced by nine and that this was changed to five.
