I will talk to the Minister.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 509 of 516 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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I will talk to the Minister.
Again, I do not have the specifics or the background. Has the school applied? Is it in the process? It has applied.
That does not make sense. It is either in the system or it is not.
Is it at stage 1, stage 2 or stage 3?
If the Deputy gives me the details, we may be able to progress the matter with the Minister. Has it been sanctioned?
I think the Deputy probably knows.
As the Deputy will know, this is a major project. The plan is to build a 16-classroom primary school on a very challenging brownfield site with modern multistorey facilities spanning Dominick Street, Dominick Place and Granby Row. Ongoing issues recently led to a temporary pause on construction. The contractor was formally notified on 23 May under the contract's suspension of works provision. This pause gives space for a conciliation process to conclude, allowing a clear path forward to be mapped out. The site is i…
It is an area of archaeological interest that involves a protected structure owned and occupied by Youth Work Ireland. A number of issues have arisen. These include issues with services on the site and electrical lines and services related to the adjacent Luas line, which had not been apparent until excavation began. There are issues with the foundations of an adjoining protected building, which need careful consideration. There is a whole load of issues here that need to be addressed.
Again, I will consult the Minister for Education and Youth. Progress has been made on the site. I obviously do not know the up-to-date position the Department has communicated to the school board but I will pursue it with the Minister.
First of all, I am not shamefaced.
I am not. That is all I will say for now.
The Deputy said a few things that are wildly inaccurate and wrong. She deliberately conflated trade with Israel with trade with the occupied territories, as did an earlier speaker. We need to be clear on what we are talking about. The occupied territories Bill is about the occupied territories.
You are not clear.

Standard practice is not to afford members of Government the courtesy of being allowed to respond.

For example, no aeroplanes are being facilitated to transport weaponry to Gaza or the Middle East. How dare people make the assertion that they are when they are not?
