Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage
It was before Senator Boyhan made a comment and not afterwards that I made that comment.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 236 of 237 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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

We have as much time as Senators like. However, Senator Boyhan, like everyone else, only has ten minutes.
I call Senator Seery Kearney.
I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, to the House. Senator McGahon is next.
It is never easy to respond to a debate when one was not present for most of it but I do not doubt that the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, is the best person to do so.

Amendment No. 1, in the name of Senator Keogan, has been ruled out of order owing to a potential charge on the Exchequer.
