Dublin City Flat Complex Retrofit and Regeneration: Motion [Private Members]
Yes.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 6 of 314 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.

Yes.
Hear, hear.
That is rubbish.
He is very good.
A Leas-Cheann Comhairle, the Minister of State is way over and he has not answered anything.
Céad míle fáilte to all the residents up there.

The Government has kicked to touch.
There is the letter.
Do not twist it.
Pathetic.
Read that sentence again.
Will the Minister read again the sentence he just read?
Porky pies.
That is shameful.
Hear, hear.
With paltry sick leave and a living wage kicked to touch, in his contribution, the Minister did not do an awful lot to instil confidence. His first point was that "nothing prevents parties who wish to exercise their right to collectively bargain". He can tell that to the 700 workers in Covalen.

The Minister promised this would happen in February but he has acknowledged that he is a few weeks behind. I hope he is going to rectify that and get it to Committee, Report and Final Stages. This about putting wrongs to right and lif…
