Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 722 of 728 decisive votes (2 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.

Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Switch off his microphone. I ask the Deputy to take his seat. He is very fortuitous because the clock has not started on his time, which I do not think is appropriate. The matter has been dealt with already. The Deputy does not like the answer. He has to accept though that is the position that has been adopted by the Business Committee in interpreting health advice provided to the House. I am not going to interpret that for the Deputy, it is there in front of him to interpret for himself. We have a two-hour session…

Covid-19 (Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht): Statements
I apologise to the Minister for not being here for her opening remarks. I have read them. Last week, I raised with her in the House the fact that I envisage that a considerable or small portion of the Department's budget cannot be expended in particular spheres because of Covid-19 and public performances being suspended, among other things. Is she in a position to outline an internal or departmental roadmap in respect of how such resources can be reallocated to support various sectors within her Department? Of cour…

Covid-19 (Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht): Statements
I have two further questions. Does the Minister have any comment with regard to unspent resources? Heritage week is something an awful lot of people look forward to every year, myself included. I always take the opportunity to get in the car and take the kids off to some facility they perhaps have never been to in the midlands or sometimes a little bit further away, but it is a usual event in my family that, on a Sunday, we tend to go off to one of our wonderful national heritage facilities. The Minister might take…

Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin have 15 minutes each, followed by ten minutes for all other parties for questions and answers. I remind all Members to allow time for their questions to be answered and ask the Minister to be brief in doing so. I call Deputy Stephen Donnelly.

Covid-19 (Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht): Statements
Given the nature of the cultural work by and employment status of individuals in the arts, it is important to note that the Covid support payments they are receiving are very welcome. However, I wish to echo the concern raised by my colleague, Deputy O'Donnell, regarding how they can come out of this, respond and get back to the valuable work they do in society. That is of paramount importance. We recognise the many positives coming out of the pandemic, particularly the videos to which the Minister referred in her …

I will share my time with Deputy Higgins who will join us in a moment. Having worked with the Minister on various committees over the past nine years, I wish her the very best wherever the next chapter of life takes her once her Ministry ends. I have eight questions which I sent the Minister in advance and I would appreciate if she could answer them on the record. She answered my question on the number of childcare providers that have engaged with the wage subsidy scheme. The figure she provided was 3,733. How many…

I note that there are 25 minutes left for this and there are three groups. In the interests of public health and on the basis that the Business Committee and all of the Members have agreed to two-hour sittings, with the agreement of the House I will have to reduce the ten minutes to eight. Again, it is in the public interest. There are 25 minutes left and three groups. If that is agreed, we will proceed on that basis.
