Rhetoric & votes →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.

Second Anniversary of Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Statements
I did not think I would get the opportunity to say a few words, but I am very glad that I have. It is useful that there are a few minutes available. I thank the Minister of State for his opening remarks. This is a very important debate. It is very important that the nation and this Parliament stand with the people of Ukraine. I welcome again the ambassadors Larysa Gerasko and Marijus Gudynas from Ukraine and Lithuania. Maybe the only silver lining of everything is that we have got to know both of them much better b…

Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Does the Minister of State wish to address amendments Nos. 126 to 136, inclusive, as well? It is all one grouping for debate. He addressed amendments Nos. 96 to 125, inclusive, and the grouping is amendments Nos. 96 to 136, inclusive. If he covered up to amendment No. 136, that is fine, but he should just be happy that he has done so.

Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage
I welcome the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, back to the House. The combined opening speeches of the proposer and seconder shall not exceed 16 minutes. All other Senators have six minutes, the Minister has 15 minutes and the proposer has five minutes to reply. The Minister can come in at any stage once the proposer and seconder have finished. If she wants to come in directly after that is fine, or it is equally fine if she wants to await further contributions.
