Child Poverty and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members]
Tenant in situ was always meant to be a temporary measure, which is even recognised in Sinn Féin's housing policy.
James Browne
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 1,098 of 1,109 decisive votes (2 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.
