Marriage Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Sep 2015)

Michael McNamara: ...9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. This is because the registration of births, deaths and marriages is carried out by the HSE. There are provisions in the 2004 Act to enable the HSE to set a fee for marriages outside HSE venues or non-HSE hours.

Michael McNamara: .... This seems like an inordinate waste of taxpayers' money. Even if the State succeeds, any technical defect will be cured and a new complaint lodged.

Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Mar 2014)

Michael McNamara: I welcome that. The fines are set out in the Bill as €500, €1,000 or whatever, and over time they become meaningless as the fines in the 1946 Act became meaningless. The power to prescribe fees is just a general power to prescribe fees, and we can be absolutely certain that once they are introduced, they will go up every year and will not become meaningless, so I welcome the...

Michael McNamara: ...the Bar Council might seek to introduce a provision, whereby barristers who are not members of the Law Library may have to pay a contribution towards the regulatory costs as part of their practising fee or as a condition of the practising fee have to pay some of the cost of maintaining the Law Library, which would defeat the purpose of the Bill.

Michael McNamara: ...this Bill is finally enacted, this will no longer be the case and they will be able to receive unemployment payments for days on which they are not called out and are not in receipt of a call-out fee.

Legal Services Regulation Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (23 Feb 2012)

Michael McNamara: ...' firms charge six times more for the same work than others, I fear the Bill as it stands does not address the problem and does not make clear that small firms will be able to survive. Undoubtedly, fees paid to counsel over the years, particularly counsel engaged in tribunal work, have cast the legal profession, in particular the Bar, in a very bad light.
