Deputy Carthy tabled the question and the other two Deputies are entitled to ask a supplementary question.

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.

The Minister of State is more familiar than I with all of the figures. Compared to the EU average of 30%, only 11% of Ireland is covered in trees, of which 49% is privately owned.

While industry-led continuous pressure is important it should not be the main or leading voice when considering what is the sustainable way forward. The Minister of State mentioned four streams. Are all four work str…

If we proceed like this, I will have to keep coming in and it is not good for any of us. Many colleagues will not get to contribute. One minute is the maximum.
