On prevailing side: this member voted
with the winning side in 1,054 of
1,062 decisive votes
(4 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.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage
In fairness, that certainly is helpful, and I will check it out.
Maidir leis an ábhar eile, níl aon rud eile le rá agam faoi anois. Tuigim an fhadhb faoina raibh an Teachta Ó Snodaigh ag caint. Feicim é tríd na contaetha. I gContae Fhine Gall agus i gcathair Bhaile Átha Cliath, déantar sárjab ó thaobh rudaí a bheith i mBéarla agus i nGaeilge ach níl sé cosúil leis sin tríd an tír. Beidh mé ag féachaint ar an leasú roimh na céimeanna sa Seanad.

That is the second time the Deputy has been ignored by different Chairs. He must not be indicating properly.

I will touch on this briefly as there has been a good discussion on the community gardens today and some good points made.
I do not want to disappoint Deputy Healy-Rae but there is no conspiracy theory. If he looks at how the amendment is worded, it is not in priority terms, it is actually listed alphabetically with cyclists, pedestrians-----

-----cyclists is "C", pedestrians, public transport and road traffic, so they are in alphabetical order, not in order of priority. I know Deputy Healy-Rae will be down in Kerry and will be spinning this yarn that this is what it is trying to do-----

I know what he will do but the fact is, and just for the record of the House, it is listed in alphabetical order. Let us not try to spin it in any other way. I am just saying that that is what it is. I am sure Deputy Matthews will absolutely confirm that, generally speaking, this is how they are listed.
I would not underestimate the significance of the inclusion of community gardens in this very significant legislation, which is once-in-a-generation legislation we can build on. I commend Deputy Ó Cathasaigh on this…

This is very important legislation. Although we are having this back-and-forth, this is once-in-a-generation legislation to reform our planning system. Deputy McGrath said earlier that it was rushed. That is absolute nonsense. We have gone through the legislation with the Chairman of the Oireachtas joint committee, and we had 223 hours-----

Most of the Deputies here, whether in opposition or in government, have taken the process seriously and have gone to the trouble of tabling amendments. They are speaking to the amendments that are pertinent to the legislation.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage
I want to address Deputy Matthews specifically because he raised an important point on climate action. Amendment No. 549 deletes the reference to the climate Act in section 86. That was agreed with the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications as part of the amendments on climate. We are working through this and there has been really good engagement. Amendment No. 549, in my name, will delete lines 20 and 21 on page 200. We are working on this with the Department responsible for energy and climate. …
