- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Report on Developments in EU: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (12 May 2015)
Michael McNamara: What about quid pro quo? The NPWS is quite happy to verify that habitats are nesting grounds for birds that are already included in the birds directive because they are an endangered species, yet some have not been included, I presume inadvertently.

Michael McNamara: My question does not really relate to mortgage lending but it is an obvious corollary. As a mortgage lender, I presume Permanent TSB has to seize properties occasionally, appoint examiners and sell properties. I have received a complaint from a constituent and I wonder how typical it is. The constituent might or might not have eventually become customer of Permanent TSB. They put a bid on...

However, they subsequently re-engaged, got a job and started paying their mortgage in full....
