- Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Closures (6 May 2015)
Michael McNamara: I thank the Minister of State for his response, although it is a pity that a Minister with responsibility for health or with more than a passing interest in health has not come in.

He said the House will be aware that the management of resources and service planning is a matter for the HSE in the first instance and that...

- Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Closures (6 May 2015)
Michael McNamara: I appreciate the Minister of State, Deputy Coffey, coming before the House, but he is not responsible for health issues.

It primarily provides services to elderly people in County Clare. There are...

- Order of Business (30 Apr 2015)
Michael McNamara: Most Members will be aware of the damage that gambling causes to society but fewer will be aware that no bet is legally enforceable. If I win a bet, I cannot enforce payment on it.

In the context...
- Order of Business (30 Apr 2015)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Overview of the Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Bank of Ireland (29 Apr 2015)

Michael McNamara: I presume Bank of Ireland was relatively better positioned because it engaged in more prudent lending than its competitors. Was that in some part because of the personal relationships that were built between personnel and customers? The bank maintained those personal relationships for longer than other lenders before decisions were effectively made to conduct business remotely.
