Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2022: Committee Stage
When is it proposed to sit again?
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.

I thank the Minister of State and Senator Cummins. While we await the Minister for Senator Buttimer's Commencement matter, I would like to welcome the young people and their teachers in the Gallery. It is wonderful to have them here. They are witnessing the part of the day, known as Commencement Matters, where Senators raise particular issues with Ministers and get responses. They are in the Houses of democracy and I hope some day one of them will be here representing their community.

Passport Office: Motion
At the outset, I congratulate Senators Ó Donnghaile and Boylan for bringing forward this important matter. It is an important discussion that should be held in the Seanad. Well done to them on that.

Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces: Statements
I welcome the Minister to the House. I say this in a genuine, unpatronising and non-party political way, because I think there much consensus, that the Minister is bringing huge energy, commitment and ability to this task and that he is really giving it momentum. It is a necessary and important exercise and it is very much not before its time. The Minister was instrumental in this, because he had the vision to set up the commission and now he is implementing the findings of the commission. It is a great day’s work …
