- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2020)
Michael McNamara: I wish to raise a matter which pertains to a constituent of mine who has passed away. He stayed in University Hospital Limerick and was accommodated on a trolley in the corridor. After he passed away, his family were charged €813 per night. I raised this matter with the Minister for Health, who referred it to the hospital. The hospital replied to say the inpatient and day case...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (15 Oct 2020)
Michael McNamara: If the Government is going to continue to treat a trolley in a corridor as a multiple occupancy room then we will inevitably have an expensive court case of the type to which Deputy O'Donoghue referred to sort out this anomaly because a corridor is not a room. It is that simple. I want to move on to one other associated area, namely, the latest restrictions which have been announced for...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Aviation Industry (15 Oct 2020)
Michael McNamara: The question I have relates to testing, which is obviously key. So far we have relied on polymerase chain reaction, PCR, testing. It is the gold standard but the WHO accepts antigen testing can be used when PCR testing cannot be used. Will the Government look at rapid testing and will that be antigen testing or PCR testing? In any event, will the Minister outline what steps are being...

- Post-European Council Meeting on 15 and 16 October: Statements (Resumed) (20 Oct 2020)
Michael McNamara: I will return perhaps to the European Council. I completely agree with Deputy Mattie McGrath to the extent that we are an outlier in Europe. We have imposed far greater restrictions on people than any other European state over the past six months consistently, and for what? For a policy that has utterly failed. I appreciate that this is not necessarily the remit of the Department of the...
- Post-European Council Meeting on 15 and 16 October: Statements (Resumed) (20 Oct 2020)
Michael McNamara: How on earth could that not be an impediment? Does the Government intend to continue with this canard and pretend there is no impediment to travel abroad between green list countries while telling people they have to take two weeks' unpaid leave? What will the Government do to develop a testing protocol to enable people to travel between orange list and red list countries? It is quite...
