An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Feb 2022)

Michael McNamara: I wish to raise the issue of Shannon Heritage Properties with the Taoiseach. I have raised it many times before. A due diligence process is in place now for Clare County Council to effectively take over the Clare properties, as I am sure the Taoiseach is aware. Key to that is capital funding. Clare County Council has limited sources of revenue; namely, local property tax and rates....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Overcrowding (9 Feb 2022)

Michael McNamara: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, for coming in here today. For a while, I was afraid that the Chief Whip would be responding on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly. Is the Minister back in the country?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Overcrowding (9 Feb 2022)

Michael McNamara: I thank the Minister of State for her reply, scant as it is. HIQA has a certain remit and I do not think it has the remit to recommend that model 2 hospitals be upgraded to model 3 hospitals. HIQA does not have a remit to look at the population, for example, if there is population growth or if the population of a region is greater than anticipated when originally planning hospital capacity....

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Driver Licences (17 Feb 2022)

Michael McNamara: I thank the Minister of State. What she has just told this House is that a temporary reduction in services as a result of Covid is being used to introduce a permanent reduction, which is what we have accused the banks of doing.
