Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 305 of 309 decisive votes (0 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.

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed)
I am not going to welcome the Minister to the House as I have done it before. However, I will compliment him on the N5 national primary route, which I have raised with him many times and he will know did not have a good safety record, and the bypass from Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge. Many people said to me that the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the Government would not let the project go through but they did. He also added something significant, about which people are very happy. Provision was made for cycleways …

Residential Tenancies (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage
I thank the Chair for his very nice comments. They are very much appreciated. I will pass on the remarks to my brother. Like others, I welcome the Minister to the House. I do not know whether this is the fourth or fifth occasion on which he has come in here to protect tenants. It is clear from his effort and work that he is concerned and will look after people in a particularly bad situation because of Covid. I also pay tribute to my colleague, Senator Mary Fitzpatrick, who has done Trojan work in the House and who…

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
In yesterday's Irish Independent , Ms Yvonne Murray updated us on a case that I raised with the Leader more than ten weeks ago, that is, that of Australian Mr. Robert Pether, who has been in detention in Iraq for 76 days. His wife and three children, all of whom are Irish citizens, live in Elphin, County Roscommon. I commend the Leader because when, with the House's support, she gave the Seanad a commitment to bring the matter to the Department of Foreign Affairs, she did so. I appreciate that. However, it is with …
