On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 41 of 930 decisive votes (9 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.

Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Covid-19) Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed)

That is no problem at all. I was essentially making the point that this Bill is missing anything to address the situation facing the Debenhams workers and other workers who may be in the same situation in the future. There is a difference in the approach taken by the current Taoiseach compared with what he said about Clerys over five years ago. At that time, he spoke about what happened to Clerys as the worst example of vulture capitalism. The difference in approach is striking now that he is the Taoiseach and has …

Gnó na Dála - Business of Dáil

The point of order is as follows: we have a proposal from the Business Committee about the order for the rest of this evening's session. Members may correct me if I am wrong but it is probably the first time in the history of the Business Committee that the Government is opposing the proposal from the Business Committee and has its own amendment. The reason for that is that it is not enough for the Government-----

The point of order though, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, is that it is not enough to do that, but then the Government wants to do it without having any debate whatsoever.

Direct Provision System

Anyone who has heard about what is happening in the Skellig Star is utterly horrified. It was so bad that it drove people to engage in a hunger strike. Coronavirus spread like wildfire through this direct provision centre. As I understand it, it has still not yet been inspected. Food and water were rationed. At one stage, people were limited to 1 l of water per day. A letter I received stated it had been almost four consecutive months of living in inhumane conditions. The Government has not done anything to address…

Direct Provision System

I will add to that by asking for confirmation that nobody else will be moved into the centre and underline the point that it should not have come to a hunger strike. People should not have been forced into that situation where they felt they had no other choice. This crisis has been discussed openly including in the media, protests, organisation and support from the local community for months. It took a hunger strike for a welcome intervention to happen but it should not have. We need reassurance that nobody else w…
