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

Sinn Féin will not do more. It needs to ensure that its members across the Twenty-six Counties support the development of houses in their areas. We can add to an ongoing list of continued-----
-----and planned objections that Deputy Ó Broin's party colleagues are making across the country.
I am glad the Deputy has mentioned homelessness. I am trying to address the House in spite of the continued interruptions that have been made. Homelessness remains the number one priority for the Government.
We are actually exiting more people.

It is not.

A Cheann Comhairle, I would like to put on the record of the House that at every single stage where I have tried to address the points that have been raised-----
