We are dealing with amendment No. 1 first-----
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 56 of 1,120 decisive votes (13 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

-----and then amendment No. 3, and amendments Nos. 1, 3 and 4 to amendment No. 3, and amendment No. 31.
Amendment No. 2 has been ruled out of order.
Fáiltím roimh an mBille seo. Tá sé tábhachtach go bhfuil sé os ár gcomhair inniu. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go ndéileálann muid le ceisteanna mar seo nuair a thagann siad chun cinn. Bíonn siad ró-mhinic sa chúlra agus ní phléitear leo chomh tapa is a bhféadfaí. Molaim gach éinne a bhí gafa leis an mBille seo a thabhairt chun tosaigh. Molaim iad siúd atá ag déanamh iarracht a chinntiú go mbeidh sé rite roimh an samhradh agus achtaithe chomh tapa agus is féidir ionas nach mbeidh sé de dhíth ar níos mó mic léinn íoc as 51 …
The Deputy has made two contributions already.
Tá Ceist Uimh. 8 in ainm an Teachta Rose Conway-Walsh. Tá an Teachta Martin Kenny ainmnithe.
I have been very lenient with the time today so far.
I cannot give you four minutes.
We will move on to the next question for which a Deputy is present.
Táim chun dul siar. De ghnáth, ní bhíonn cead agam é sin a dhéanamh. I am going backwards because the Deputies who submitted Questions Nos. 10 and 11 were, in fact, in the Chamber as I called on Deputy Smith.
The Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach has completed its consideration of the Motor Insurance Insolvency Compensation Bill 2024, and has made amendments thereto.
An Teachta Gould. Gabh mo leithscéal.
Mutter away there.
Two multiagency task forces have been set up in this city in recent years, one in the north inner city and one in Cherry Orchard. On both occasions, I welcomed those multiagency task forces, but I also pointed out that one of the areas with the most deprivation in this city is the Liberties and the rest of Dublin 8. I highlighted the need for us to focus on this area where there is intergenerational poverty, drug abuse, crime, etc. That is impacting the community, and without a multiagency approach, the situation o…
The last point is not, in some ways, relevant if it is concerned with alcohol. The consumption of drugs on a massive scale is the problem here. I invite any Deputy to visit some of the flat complexes just to see the level of sale and consumption of drugs and the intimidation that goes with it. The role of sports clubs is very important. They can divert young people away from crime and drug-taking, and I would encourage that. The area is great, one of the best communities going, but there is an element that is inter…
Anois, bogaimid ar aghaidh. An chéad cheist eile ná Uimh. 72 in ainm an Teachta David Stanton.
Go raibh maith agat, a Aire.
Go raibh maith agat, a Aire. We are over time.
Spoofer.
We cannot have the Tánaiste misleading the Dáil.
