Address to Seanad Éireann by An Taoiseach
Hear, hear.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 21 of 237 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.

Tuigim gur ábhar iontach tábhachtach é seo. Gabhaim mo leithscéal leis an Teach as a bheith as láthair don chuid is mó den phlé. Bhí mé ag taisteal ó Bhéal Feirste. Is é sin an fáth. Ba mhaith liom mo leithscéal a thabhairt fosta ar son an tSeanadóra Boylan, a bhí ag iarraidh a bheith páirteach sa díospóireacht seo. I apologise to the Cathaoirleach, the Chairman of the committee and colleagues for missing a large part of today's discussion. I was travelling from Belfast. My colleague, Senator Boylan, who had really…
On Senator Chambers's last comments, I also remember the days when the current and one of the former leaders of the DUP also talked about the positive potential of the protocol and how it offered the best of both worlds. I thank the Minister for being with us today for these statements. I have consistently called for statements in the past weeks, while appreciating fully the sensitivities of a live negotiation, and the discussions and engagements that the Minister and his European colleagues will be having with the…

Ar dtús báire, cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. Táim iontach sásta go bhfuil seal agam páirt a ghlacadh sa díospóireacht seo um thráthnóna. Tréaslaím leis an méid a bhí le rá ag an Seanadóir Clifford-Lee mar fhocal scoir le linn a hóráide féin. Nuair a ardaím chun labhairt sa chathair seo, tuigim go bhfuil cearta agam mar Ghael nach bhfuil agam sa dara chathair d'Éirinn, mo chathair féin, Béal Feirste cois cuain. Tá orainn go léir cuimhneamh air sin agus muid ag plé cúrsaí Gaeilge mar is pobal uile-Éireann é poba…
