Thank you, Deputy Coppinger.
John McGuinness
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 425 of 432 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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation
Before I call on Deputy Rice, I want to reply to Deputy Smith. When we have an exchange such as that which eats into the time available, I assure the House that the time of the Deputies who follow will not be cut. They have the right to speak in this House regardless of what happens.

Victims of Sexual Violence Civil Protection Orders Bill 2025: First Stage
When we commenced, and I called Deputy Carthy, we had Ministers from the Government and so on here. That is why I allowed the matter to proceed. Now I have to put the question that the Deputy asked and whether the Bill should be considered, that question being: “Is the Bill being opposed?”

Victims of Sexual Violence Civil Protection Orders Bill 2025: First Stage
I presume in the absence of everyone else in the House that the Bill is not being opposed. Therefore I presume that the motion for leave to introduce is agreed.

Nursing Homes and Care for Older Persons: Statements (Resumed)
We have been here before. We have expressed the same degree of disgust and anger at what we saw on the “RTÉ Investigates” television programme recently but we have not done anything in between times to make sure it does not happen again. There is a lot that we could have done. For example, the community nursing homes are a great idea, as outlined by Deputy O'Donoghue earlier. We have them in Kilkenny at Thomastown, Castlecomer, Kilmoganny, Graiguenamanagh, Freshford and Callan. Why do we not fund them? Why do we no…

Before moving to the Social Democrats, I acknowledge the group from New Zealand in our Distinguished Visitors Gallery. They were welcomed formally yesterday. They were so impressed that they came back again today. They might mark a sheet for us about how people performed yesterday versus today.
