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.

Before we go any further, there are public health guidelines and directives. I am addressing everyone now. Comments about Deputies leaving the Chamber or not being in the Chamber are not appropriate. Deputies come in, make their contribution and leave. They are in their offices and they are watching. It is important for listeners to know that. We will move now to the Government side. There are three speakers. Deputy Bruton is next and he might indicate the breakdown of time.

A "Yes" or "No" will do.

That is great. It is an absolutely damning indictment of every Government's housing policy. Simon does not say that, of course; they simply give us a snapshot. This is the eighteenth snapshot. Let us consider Galway city and the suburbs, which are divided into two categories. There is not one property available under the HAP limits in Galway city. There are three in the suburbs. Simon has done a number of these reports and this is the eleventh time out of 16 reviews where no property is available. I ask the Ministe…
