Only a select few could get into the climate change committee. All of the sessions were held in private.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 212 of 712 decisive votes (3 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 of the committee meetings were held in private. No other view could be heard. The committee did not want to hear them.
It is not fair or just.
He did not want to hear any other view. All of the meetings were held in private and this is the very same. They want to try to hide what they are doing from the people of Ireland.
Before we will be finished with you, the people of Ireland will know what they are trying to do with them, especially the people in rural Ireland.
For good and glory, that is what they are at. That is what they are trying to do. They are trying to hoodwink the people. When Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael go to the doors the next time they will get their answer if they do this to the people of rural Ireland.
It was all held in camera . They want to do it all in private.
The people of Ireland will know because the people of Ireland will have to pay.
It is the Cathaoirleach who should demand that we get the speeches.
Hold him up there until we get the speeches.
It is more like Russia now. Putin in action.
Why is he being allowed to continue until we get the speech? We are being fair.

I will ask two questions and if I have time left over, I might follow up with a further contribution. When will vaccines be rolled out to elderly and vulnerable people living at home, such as a man in his late 70s in east Kerry who has had a leg amputated, as well as a stroke and several other health complications during his life? Carers are in and out of his home daily to try to keep him alive and at home. He needs the vaccine. When will vaccines be delivered to the people of Kerry who are confined to their homes?…
I have asked questions.
When will it come to Kerry?
May I ask a further question?
