Carer's Allowance: Motion [Private Members]
We move to Sinn Féin. Several speakers are sharing time. I call Deputy Conway-Walsh.
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.

We move to Sinn Féin. Several speakers are sharing time. I call Deputy Conway-Walsh.
I call People Before Profit, although the Deputies missed their slot. At the discretion of the Chair, I will let them speak for five minutes each.
That is no problem. Deputy Gannon missed his slot but I will use the discretion of the Chair to give him ten minutes.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
The Select Committee on Social Protection, Community and Rural Development and the Islands has completed its consideration of the following Supplementary Estimate for Public Services for the service of the year ending on 31 December 2024: Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development.
That is fine.
I want to take this opportunity - it might be the last time I am in the Chair - to thank the Ceann Comhairle for his great work over the past number of years. He has been a tremendous Ceann Comhairle, has done a tremendous job and has been fair to everybody in the House. I want to put that on the record. I also compliment the Ceann Comhairle's wonderful staff. The House would not run without their courtesy and efficiency. I thank them for the way they run the business. I welcome to the Gallery Evan Lynch Boyd and h…
Seanad Éireann has passed the Social Welfare Bill 2024 without amendment.
I thank the Deputy.
The Deputy's time is up.
The Deputy is taking other people's time.
There are two more speakers.
I call Deputy Ó Murchú. Sorry, Deputy Munster is next on the list.
The Deputy does this every week but he will not do it with me.
I am not talking about Deputy Conway-Walsh; I am talking about the Deputy behind her whose name is down here. He jumps the list every week and he then goes on too long. I call Deputy Munster. He will not do it today.
He will not do it today. I can tell the House that.
Thank you, Deputy.
We move to the Social Democrats.
Deputy, sit down. Thank you.
I call People Before Profit-Solidarity Deputies Boyd Barrett, Murphy and Barry.
