Debenhams Ireland Redundancies: Motion [Private Members]
It is difficult to see the Deputy up there.
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.

Covid-19 Pandemic Supports
We will go straight to Topical Issue No. 4 because we had one drop-out. Deputy Verona Murphy wishes to discuss the need for investment in Rosslare Europort in preparation for Brexit. I understand the Deputy may be waiting for Topical Issue No. 3 to proceed but that Deputy is not here. If Deputy Murphy is in the precincts, now is the time for her to raise her matter. Otherwise, we will have to close the debate. I apologise to the Minister of State. To be fair, we have tried to make contact but we have to press on. T…

Public Expenditure Policy
I seek to ascertain the extent and nature of the guidelines issued by the Minister to various public bodies throughout the country. This relates to procurement and so on. Incidentally, I congratulate the new Minister and Ministers of State. This is the first occasion I have had to put questions to them directly.

Public Expenditure Policy
I thank the Minister of State for his reply. To what degree does he foresee the Government's ability to monitor the various Departments' demands in the first instance as well as the possible shortfall in available resources in view of the fact that changes in the economy, market and so on may take place in the meantime? Is it possible to identify accurately the kinds of need each Department will have?

Public Expenditure Policy
I thank the Minister of State. Does he foresee a situation whereby the Government will be able to identify accurately possible overruns in respect of Government contracts at an early date with a view to putting in place measures to correct such overruns if necessary and how does he foresee this interacting with contracts?
