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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

All right.
I call Deputy Canney. Another speaker will be turning up, but there is ten minutes overall.
I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Bill. I deplore the manner in which the Bill has been introduced. This is based on legislation that was introduced in December, with no pre-legislative scrutiny, no learning and no indication that we would be back here again in March looking to pass an emergency Bill. The Title to the Development (Emergency Electricity Generation) Act 2022 states that it is an Act to provide for emergency measures "because exceptional circumstances have arisen in the mark…

Before the Minister of State responds, we will hear from Deputy Cathal Crowe.
As the Deputy in possession when the debate adjourned is not present, I call Deputy Shortall.

I dtús báire, cuirim fáilte roimh an deis a bheith páirteach sa díospóireacht seo. Tá an Bille seo thar a bheith tábhachtach. Tá na comhair chreidmheasa ar an bhfód ó 1958. Sin thart ar 65 bliain. Le linn na tréimhse sin, ní féidir luach a chur ar na seirbhísí agus an tacaíocht atá tugtha ag na comhair chreidmheasa do chosmhuintir na tíre.
