Through the Chair.

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.

Inquiry into the Murder of Mr. Patrick Finucane: Motion
Before I call the Minister, on behalf of all Members I want to welcome John Finucane to the Chamber. We are honoured to have him here for this debate. I want to pay tribute to him and his family, in particular his mother on her resilience and courage and everyone else on their the relentless pursuit of justice on behalf of his father. I am sure he would be delighted with his achievements and, who knows, some day he might be a Deputy representing North Belfast in this Chamber.

As I explained previously, for the benefit of Members, I have asked party Whips to ask colleagues about the rota and to decide which parties will speak, because I do not want, for example, 19 Fianna Fáil Senators showing up at the start of the Order of Business and the same with Fine Gael Senators. We cannot have a full Chamber. There is a rota and the Whips submit the names to the Chair, and they are put in order. I would ask that when Members are listed in order that they would be in for-----

For the benefit of Senator Buttimer, his name has been submitted by the Fine Gael Whip and he is fifth on the list. I have put him in the order that I received the request. Other Senators were put in ahead of Senator Buttimer and have arrived in late. I ask Senators to arrive at the start of the Order of Business if they are in line to speak, but I will circulate the email that I received from the Fine Gael Whip-----
