I thank the Minister for those comments.

Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 559 of 562 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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I remind the Senator that section 14 relates to the working family repayment? We gave the Senator a little latitude on class K. Does Senator Burke want to contribute?

Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
In fairness, I have given a little latitude on this. Section 14 is about the working family payment, not class K. I gave Senator Craughwell a bit of latitude.

That was ruled out of order.

We can raise that with the Cathaoirleach if the Senator wants.

Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
No. I gave some latitude to allow the Senator in. It was ruled out of order. It is the wrong section. The Minister has clearly answered the Senator. She shares his concerns. She has given him a pathway for how to progress this issue in regard to class K. I acknowledge the work he has done on this issue for a long time but we are very much time-bound this evening and I need to move on.

Amendments Nos. 9 to 12, inclusive, are ruled out of order due to a potential charge on Revenue.
