Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2023)

Michael McNamara: I want to revert to an issue I have raised with the Tánaiste on a number of occasions, namely overcrowding in the accident and emergency department of University Hospital Limerick, UHL. This morning, there are 90 people on trolleys in UHL. That is a good day now. It would have been unthinkable a number of years ago but there are 90 people on trolleys this morning. Almost one quarter...

There are also other projects under way across the State. In St. Vincent's University Hospital, for example, instead of having elderly people coming into the hospital, the hospital is sending out teams. I wonder whether something like that could be...

Policing, Protests and Public Order: Statements (28 Nov 2023)

Michael McNamara: My thoughts in the first instance are with those who are still in hospital, as are most people's thoughts, and with those who tackled the assailant. That vicious attack was taken advantage of by those on the far right and it needs to be condemned. However, that was, in turn, taken advantage of by a group intent on lawlessness, and that has been pervasive on the streets of inner-city Dublin...

It is driven by an awareness that the south east has been one of the areas which has suffered. I am from the mid-west and luckily the mid-west was represented at Cabinet relatively recently by Michael Noonan. Unfortunately, that is how...

Michael McNamara: During the Covid-19 lockdowns and since there was an increase in violence and in antisocial behaviour on the streets of both the north inner city and the south inner city. That was ignored and we saw where that leads to.
