Cabinet Committees
You cannot stand up in the House and decide to have a debate.
Bernard Durkan
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 782 of 793 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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Access of Competent Authorities to Centralised Bank Account Registries: Motion
I am glad to have an opportunity to speak on this legislation. Following on from the points raised by my colleague, I am in favour of keeping the integrity of the system to the fore at all times. That encourages investment and helps to create jobs and a society at ease with itself. However, I have dealt with a number of cases recently wherein it has emerged that politicians and Members of Parliament are identified as potential money launderers. I do not know where that came from but it is already there. It is in th…

Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed)
I am delighted to have an opportunity to speak on this budget. I have spoken on a number of budgets over the years and have seen speeches from the Government and from the Opposition. There is a certain similarity. Mr. Denis Reid, a former employee of the Houses of the Oireachtas, used to advise as to what the various spokespersons would say and predict it in advance. Normally, from the Opposition it would be "Too little, too late" or "Opportunities missed". I am sure he is smiling as he looks at these debates. I do…

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Today, as I have done in the past, I raise again the urgent necessity for confirmation from EirGrid as to the adequacy for non fossil-fuel dependent generation of electricity to meet the domestic and industrial requirements over the next two years, in particular, and for it to outline its plans to enhance that generation of non-fossil fuel electricity in that period.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
I know, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Can we get from EirGrid an assurance of its ability to meet the domestic and industrial electricity load over the next two years and have it outline also its plans to enhance the generation of non-fossil fuel-dependent electricity in the same period?
