Michael McNamara: I listened intently to the Taoiseach's response the to Deputy Boyd Barrett yesterday when the Taoiseach said he did not believe every trade deal the European Commission engaged in should be put to a referendum. Does the Taoiseach believe Mercosur should have to be ratified by individual parliaments or by referendums, or does the Taoiseach believe the Commission should be able to ratify that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Nov 2022)

Michael McNamara: This issue was raised repeatedly in the Dáil, so why did it take a protected disclosure for the Minister to meet the staff? What is actually changing? We can list out reams of statistics. The Taoiseach spoke about changes over 20 years, but the single greatest change over those 20 years has been that people in Clare no longer want to be brought to that hospital. That is a major...

Science Week: Statements (15 Nov 2022)

Michael McNamara: I join others in saying it is good to see the Ceann Comhairle back in the Chair. I listened with intent to the debate. Many spoke about famous scientists from their areas.

Something they have in common is Robert Boyle was the seventh son of the Earl of Cork and...
