We will take that separately.
Joe O'Reilly
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 440 of 443 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.

On a personal level, the reason I asked Senator Warfield to wait a little is that it is nice to end on a joyful note. I congratulate Senator Warfield on his engagement last Friday. We wish him well and await further good news from him. The final word appropriately goes to Senator Seery Kearney.

On my behalf and on behalf of the Cathaoirleach, I thank Members for the respectful debate. It was apt that it should be a respectful and controlled debate given the gravity and sensitivity of the subject. It was not a day for back-of-the-lorry style politics and that did not happen, which reflects well on the House.
