Is there a seconder?
Joe O'Reilly
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 440 of 443 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded).

Irish Nationality and Citizenship (Naturalisation of Minors Born in Ireland) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed)
I warmly welcome the Minister. She is almost resident with us in the Seanad these days. I thank her for being here for Committee Stage of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship (Naturalisation of Minors Born in Ireland) Bill 2018. We will now resume the debate.

Irish Nationality and Citizenship (Naturalisation of Minors Born in Ireland) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Amendment No. 1, in the names of Senators Bacik, Hoey, Moynihan, Sherlock and Wall, is deemed out of order as it is in conflict with the principles of the Bill as read a Second Time.

Irish Nationality and Citizenship (Naturalisation of Minors Born in Ireland) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (Resumed)
While it is not appropriate for the Chair to intervene, I want to identify with the remarks that have been made about Cormac Ó Braonáin. That is heartfelt, right across the House. His death was tragic. We all admired what he was doing and it is sad he left us so young.

Quality in Public Procurement (Contract Preparation and Award Criteria) Bill 2021: Second Stage
I congratulate my good friend and colleague, Senator Higgins, on this legislation. She is a particularly reflective individual and a very hard-working Senator.

The Senator has made a great contribution to the House on this matter and is to be commended for that. She displays tremendous patriotism and commitment to all of these matters, as well as great dedication to the Seanad. There i…

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
My topic neatly follows on from Senator Cassells's contribution, with which I completely concur. I call on an urgent debate on problem gambling followed by the appointment of a regulator and the gambling control Bill. We need play limits, win or lose limits and the end of pernicious allurements such as free bets. Gambling addiction destroys lives and must be tackled head on. I again ask for that debate. As the climate change Bill looms, I call for a debate on solutions to carbon reduction and not just on targets. I…
