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.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
I thank the Deputy Leader for her comprehensive and individualised responses. Many references were made to the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly meeting held yesterday, which is significant, and the Deputy Leader mentioned it also. I congratulate my constituency colleague, Deputy Brendan Smith, co-chair of the body, who brought the meeting to Cavan and made a huge success of it. It was one of the best conferences I had the privilege of attending in many a day.

The Minister of State will speak after we have heard from one Senator from each political grouping. That is when he will come in. He has agreed to wait until that. We will have one key speech per group and then move to the Minister of State. We will get everyone else in later.
