Report on Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Ireland's Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Motion
Senator Casey is right.
Paul Gavan
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 19 of 375 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.
