Deputy Nash has no manners.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 356 of 832 decisive votes (4 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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Deputy Nash has no manners.
We all know what the Labour Party did when it had power. We all saw. Tell it to the women of Ireland.
We know what it did.
Is the Deputy proud or did he ever get embarrassed?
We know what the Labour Party did for poorer people when it was in power.
We saw what the Labour Party did when it was in power.
Is the Deputy ashamed of what the Labour Party did when it was in power?
Tell Eamon Ryan that.
I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and I will be brief. Regarding the Passport Office website, it states that first-time applications will take 35 working days to process, which is seven weeks. I have continuously found, however, that passports can take much longer than this to process. Nothing is wrong with those applications and no further information is requested. The staff working on the urgent TD line are absolutely brilliant. I compliment them and thank them for their work.
They actually do not have access to expedite the passport unless it has gone past the estimated date. In recent days I had a lady who needed her passport for a work trip but was told they could not do anything to help her. It was a paper form standard renewal, not a first-time application. The Department needs to highlight that first-time passport applications are taking 35 days and a lot longer. Will the Taoiseach please try to do something with the Passport Office and resource it more? They are very excellent peo…
Well done.
Tell that to the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan.
It is all her fault now.
It is all her fault.

You were asked about turf.
You were asked about turf and you would not answer it.
Try and explain-----
So that makes it all right.
We did not realise-----
