- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (18 Apr 2024)
Michael McNamara: The concentration of land ownership in many parts of the country is a problem. It is particularly noticeable in south Tipperary and, indeed, the OPW's activities in north Clare are creating their own pressures. Obviously, the Tánaiste will be aware of the Irish Land Commission.

- An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Apr 2024)
Michael McNamara: The migration pact is not one Bill, but it is several. I believe it would be beneficial to this State to opt into some of them, but some of them would be very detrimental. My concern is that this will come back from the justice committee with a motion that we apply and endorse either all measures or none of them. That would be profoundly undemocratic, and I believe it would be detrimental...

Just because one is a large donor to the parties in government, it should not preclude one from examination by this House. The...

Michael McNamara: I noticed in the Tánaiste's reply to Deputy Pearse Doherty earlier that he talked about the importance of oversight of State funding and ensuring value for money.
