Gerard P. Craughwell
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 28 of 273 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.

Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
The Minister is very welcome to the House. I submitted an amendment on section 14 of the Bill, which deals with the dreaded class K PRSI. It has been ruled out of order because of the cost to the Exchequer. Members of this House who have gone to the dentist to get their teeth cleaned have come to me about PRSI. They are paying €386 in PRSI and cannot get dental care. It was suggested in a rebuttal here last year that we can make voluntary contributions. I ask those advising the Minister whether they would be prepar…

Last night, we had an excellent debate on the issue of members of local authorities. We are coming up to local and European elections, to be held next year, and a number of senior members of local authorities have decided they will pack it in at that stage. They will get a relatively small lump sum for up to 40 years of service in some cases. Why is it that outgoing members of local authorities cannot avail of a last-minute additional voluntary contribution, AVC, in order to enhance their income? Any public servant…

Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Second Stage
The Minister of State is welcome. First and foremost, I want to congratulate him and the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, on what has been a very good social welfare budget. It clearly set out to look after the less well-off in our society, which is really good. I want to devote my time today to speaking about class K PRSI. I delivered a rapporteur's report on class K PRSI in 2016, which I have here and which I will make available to the Minister. Let us talk about social insurance. Social insurance is about the many co…
