Carer's Allowance Means Test: Motion [Private Members]
Thank you, Deputy. I now call Deputy Naughten, who has five minutes.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 637 of 646 decisive votes (3 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.

Thank you, Deputy. I now call Deputy Naughten, who has five minutes.
I congratulate Deputy Ó Ríordáin and wish him well on his recent election to Europe. I hope it goes well for him.
As the Deputies for Solidarity-People Before Profit are not present, I call Deputy Canney to speak, please.
I thank the Deputy. That concludes the debate.
I call People Before Profit.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
The next group is the Rural Independent Group. Richard O'Donoghue, Danny Healy-Rae, Michael Healy-Rae and Michael Collins are sharing time.
Is the Minister, Deputy Foley, moving an amendment or is she accepting the motion?
I will get the usher to organise that. Deputy Connolly is next, sharing time with Deputy Joan Collins.
Thank you, Deputy. You are sharing your time.
For the Rural Independent Group, Deputies Mattie McGrath, Michael Collins, Michael Healy-Rae and O'Donoghue are sharing time. I ask them to respect one another's time.
I call Deputy McNamara. His group has ten minutes in total. I, too, congratulate him on his recent election to the European Parliament. I wish him well. There are ten minutes between Deputies McNamara, Fitzmaurice and Harkin.
Deputies Lowry and Shanahan are sharing time.
I thank the Deputy. Next is People Before Profit-Solidarity. Deputies Murphy and Barry are sharing.
Minister, please. The Deputy has the floor.
Deputies, please. One moment.
Deputy Murphy has the floor but I would like him to tone down his comments a small bit. At the same time, I expect the Tánaiste to do the same.
Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy. Your time is up.
Your time is up, Deputy.
