Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage
No, no. The scheduling of business is nothing to do with the Seanad Office. It has to do with the Leader's office.

Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 66 of 66 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.
