- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's Response to Ash Dieback: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners (25 Oct 2023)
Michael McNamara: I heard the very beginning of Mr. White's presentation before the vote was called. I did not hear anything after that until I came back in again so I apologise if I am asking questions to which the witnesses have already providing the answer. I am one of four Deputies who represents County Clare. Obviously, Clare has one of the biggest ash plantations in the country and so is one of the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's Response to Ash Dieback: Limerick and Tipperary Woodland Owners (25 Oct 2023)
Michael McNamara: I wish it was as easy as that to get the Government to move on any sector, forestry or otherwise, on which I have pressed it. The other question relates to this new scheme of planting small areas. I appreciate it is a different matter but Mr. White spoke about it being difficult to determine what is lawful and what is not. There is this idea that areas can be planted but it is not at all...

- Home Care Workers and Home Support Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Nov 2023)
Michael McNamara: I thank Deputy Kelly and the Labour Party for this very timely motion which I have no hesitation whatsoever in supporting. There has been a lot of focus of late on the necessity of moving elderly people out of acute hospitals, it is a pity there is not the same focus on keeping elderly people out of acute hospitals. The last tie we had such a focus on moving elderly people out of acute...

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Nov 2023)
Michael McNamara: I was struck by the comments of the new CEO of Tourism Ireland reported in this morning's edition of The Irish Times. "We have a calculation around revenue per carbon footprint," she said. She continued: "If we're going to bring someone from the other side of the world, we're going to make sure we target [those who are] valued-added, and [not those] coming in and out, leaving a carbon...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Nov 2023)
Michael McNamara: I find the Taoiseach's answer somewhat surprising. On the one hand, he says we need to curb international travel and take account of sustainability while, on the other, he wants to lift capacity limits at Dublin Airport. Nowhere has he discussed exploiting capacity at other airports so that people are flown directly into a region that they might stay in, when, one hopes, there is a greater...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (8 Nov 2023)
Michael McNamara: Earlier we discussed the climate emergency and the need to improve biodiversity, the environment etc. Forestry has been posited by the Taoiseach’s Department as a major plank of Government policy, yet up to two weeks ago, only 27 afforestation licences have been granted for the year to date. That is a historic low for the State. Ash dieback is a huge problem. Many owners of...
