It depends on whether people keep to the time rules.

Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 22 of 449 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.

My question is a simple one with regard to the review being carried out about the occupations appearing on the critical occupations list and ineligible occupations list. I have raised this previously, as have other TDs. I know it is under review but could the Minister give me a specific date for when it will be ready?

I appreciate that, because the uncertainty is very unhelpful to people on the ground. We have all received representations about dental nurses, carpenters and a whole range of occupations. Obviously, we all want people to be employed from within the country but with the skills shortage and until we deal properly with apprenticeships and people coming forward, we need something in the meantime. I appreciate it. I will not labour the point. I will take the Minister of State at his word that he will have this for the …

I am delighted the Minister of State is taking this question for the west of Ireland because I know he has a particular interest. The language about start-ups and "born sustainable, born circular" is wonderful. However, the Minister of State knows that the west region has been degraded by the EU. I know there is controversy around what exactly happened but all TDs on this side of the Chamber have raised the issue repeatedly. I cannot think of anything more sustainable and born circular than the seaweed industry and…

That is good to know, but it is not happening. We look at the wonderful policy to ban big trawlers. The whole purpose of that was for ecology and biodiversity, but also to provide sustainable livings for small fishermen on the coast. That policy has gone because of a failure to communicate, even though the court held completely with the rationale behind the policy. I do not know how long ago I proposed a motion to encourage the development of an indigenous seaweed industry. In respect of wool, all we have so far is…
