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.

Youth Justice Strategy: Statements
In the interest of clarity, I wish to inform the House that the next slot is a Sinn Féin slot that has been used. The slot after that is that of the Regional Group, whose members have already spoken. The slot after that is a Government slot, and the two speakers are not here. Therefore, I am moving to Sinn Féin, namely to Deputy Andrews, and then to the Rural Independent Group. I will go back to the two speakers who are present from Sinn Féin and the Government.

I am moving on to the Rural Independent Group. Could we turn off the phones, please? It is unacceptable to have them going off repeatedly. I am trying not to look at anyone here but I ask that phones be put on silent.

Deputy Carthy, you have completely ignored the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, the Chairperson, in this matter. I ask for your co-operation. You should let the Taoiseach finish what he is saying.

LGBTQI+ Equality: Statements
I am thankful for the opportunity to take part in the debate. I do not think life was simpler before. We had a most intolerant society. The Minister referred to 30 years ago when Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, a very courageous Member and Minister at the time, stood across the Chamber in the Minister's shoes. There was a long history before that as well. Back in 1977, a High Court case was taken by Senator David Norris. The lead-in to that case lasted a number of years. The High Court ruled against Senator Norris. That was…
