Security Situation in Europe: Statements (23 Feb 2022)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Feb 2022)

Michael McNamara: I welcome the Tánaiste's new-found concern about borrowing the people's money to help them out.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Mar 2022)

Michael McNamara: Irish farmers face a dilemma as to whether to borrow money to pay the cost of fertiliser, which has more than doubled, and hope to pass that onto consumers at the end of the year or to produce less food, which will also result in a rise in consumer food prices at the end of the year.
