Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 52 of 1,007 decisive votes (14 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.

Final Report of the Independent Scoping Exercise into the Circumstances surrounding the Death of Mr. Shane O'Farrell: Statements
I am sharing my time with Deputy Mary Lou McDonald. I welcome the members of the O'Farrell family to the Gallery. The Minister has met them previously. Anyone who has met them knows there is going to be a public inquiry into why the man who killed Shane, who should have been in prison at the time, was not in prison and the handling of the case by State agencies before and after Shane's death. The reason we know this is that the O'Farrell family is simply never going to give up. The Minister mentioned in her opening…

Final Report of the Independent Scoping Exercise into the Circumstances surrounding the Death of Mr. Shane O'Farrell: Statements
Much of this debate centred around a previous decision of both Houses of the Oireachtas. Tonight, we had a debate with 22 speakers, 21 of whom reiterated the need for the implementation of that report and one, being the Minister, said that she refuses to do that. What options are open to the House in the case where a clear decision of the House is completely disregarded by the Government and the Minister has come before us to tell us that she will not implement it?

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation
Two weeks ago, a young boy was playing a football match in County Monaghan when he suffered a serious injury involving a complicated fracture. The medical advice was that he should not be moved until an ambulance arrived. It took three hours for the ambulance to arrive. In this week’s budget, the Government has underfunded our health service. How long will young children be expected to wait for ambulances next year? How many elderly will be left waiting in their homes for the emergency care they need? How does the …

Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed)
Regardless of whatever spin might be put on this budget by the benches opposite, the truth is that housing remains the greatest challenge facing Irish society. The Government's message in budget 2024 is that the housing crisis is going to get worse, not better. We also have a crisis in our health services, and the message from Government is that the crisis is going to get worse, not better. The budget delivered no new funding that would, for example, deliver any of the promised 1,500 additional beds. There is no ad…

Financial Resolution No. 1: Mineral Oil Tax
I move amendment No. 3: In Schedule 2, inserted by paragraph (1), to delete all rows from the row dated 11 October 2023, down to and including the row dated 9 October 2024 and substitute the following: " ". Gabhaim buíochas leis an Leas-Cheann Comhairle. The allocation of time motion was taken without debate. Just to clarify, the reason we voted against the motion to extend time was because not only has the Government decided that the entire House would only have 45 minutes to discuss two financial resolutions, whi…

The Minister should not have guillotined the debate after 45 minutes if he wanted more time.
