- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fodder Crisis (26 May 2022)
Michael McNamara: I am glad Deputy Cathal Crowe showed up to ask this question because my Question No. 147 is similar. There is a convention whereby Departments group similar questions together, but that was not done in this instance. I hope it is not an attempt by the Minister's staff to avoid scrutiny of him.

Michael McNamara: It would be unfortunate if that were the case.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fodder Crisis (26 May 2022)
Michael McNamara: However, if he did not - and some colleagues do not - then I would not be able to get to my feet to address the issue.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Fodder Crisis (26 May 2022)
Michael McNamara: I listened to what the Minister had to say. He has a lot of nice words about committees and discussions. In essence, however, what he is saying to farmers is, "Live, horse, and you will get grass". He talked about a wartime response. What he is doing is not a wartime response. There are people on committees discussing this problem who have got more, even if just a cup of tea, than...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Farm Costs (26 May 2022)
Michael McNamara: I raised this issue with the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste earlier in the year and they said that the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine was meeting EU agriculture ministers and would be able to detail what was happening afterwards. When the Minister met the EU agriculture ministers, did he call for a reduction in or the abolition of EU import tariffs on fertiliser? I...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (26 May 2022)
Michael McNamara: The Tánaiste explained earlier that bringing supply on board with regard to housing is the only long-term solution, but that will take a lot of time. Ukrainians will be housed in student accommodation during the summer but where will they go come late September or October? One of the available housing resources is the number of derelict houses throughout the country, not just in towns...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Michael McNamara: I just want to go back to Mr. Lucas and the incident he described earlier in the week in Clare. Obviously, this person had not fallen a substantial distance down the cliff, but had they fallen over the edge of the cliff?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Michael McNamara: This protocol that our guests mentioned that precludes Coast Guard members from crossing that fence and doing it, is that unique to Clare or is that all along the coast?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Michael McNamara: I suppose the Cliffs of Moher are unique, or at least we would like to think they are. However, they are not unique in that there are other cliffs around the coast of Ireland. Are any of our guests aware of similar protocols anywhere else in Ireland?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Irish Coast Guard: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Michael McNamara: Deputies Carey and Wynne and I raised the issue of the Doolin Coast Guard in the Dáil, and I think Deputy Crowe did as well. In any event, it was raised extensively in the Dáil. Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, undertook to look into the matter and Kieran Mulvey was appointed. Are our guests happy that the process was carried out as it was?
