Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 559 of 562 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded).

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Committee Stage
The Minister is welcome. I also welcome my good friend, Gail Dunne. We have competed and soldiered in elections together, but through all that time we have always remained good friends. That is very important in politics today. When submitting the three recommendations, I knew they would probably be ruled out of order, but I wished to continue my focus on what I believe is a certain inequality in relation to the operation of the help-to-buy scheme. We all know the importance of the help-to-buy scheme, which has ass…

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Committee Stage
I thank the Minister for his answer. He spoke to me about it privately so I was aware of what was coming. I will not give up on this because it is the right thing to do. If we need to get the relevant Ministers and bodies into a room to try to sort this out, we should. This cohort of people are the very people we should assist. I fully accept the Minister's point about the LTV ratio. I intend to try to get this cohort of people across the line. That is all. I read the Mazars report that stated the ratio should be i…

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Second Stage
I take the opportunity to welcome the Minister, Deputy McGrath, to the House. It is his first time visiting us as finance Minister. I thank him for the leadership role he has provided in the party over the past while. The fiscal landscape of budget 2024 marks a significant chapter in the annals of the financial system, defining a century-long narrative shaped by successive Governments and finance Ministers throughout an independent national story. In the promising early years of our independence, many people, doubt…

Public Health (Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2023: Second Stage
Before I go to the next speaker, I welcome the group from County Louth to the Public Gallery, who are guests of Senator McGahon. He said he will look after the tab afterwards, and whatever they want in the restaurant, it should not be a problem. Our next speaker is Senator O'Loughlin, who has five minutes.

Housing For All: Statements
I join others in welcoming the Minister of State. I thank the senior Minister, Deputy O'Brien, for his presentation earlier. We are seeing sustainable progress in the delivery of housing. We must acknowledge that progress and we must acknowledge that is a reality. The facts are there to back up that progress, despite what other people might like to put into the media. Sometimes, when you bring it back down to your own local level, it can relate a lot more to you, so I will speak specifically about Wicklow. I will s…

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
I ask the Leader for two debates. One is around the recent report issued by Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, that failure to invest in road projects could lead to an additional 77 deaths or 380 serious injuries. More specifically, in relation to my county, there is the M11-N11 upgrade scheme, on which the report identified that four fatalities and seven serious injuries could occur. This upgrade has been stalled by the current Minister and has been replaced with what is described as the M11-N11 bus priority i…
