The circumstances are contested. It might well have been the Russians but I would like to see some evidence if this will be used as an agenda to undermine our neutrality.
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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I thank the Taoiseach.
The Taoiseach should have read the Denton report.
Interned for property damage.
That is not what I said.
No, it is not.
The point I was making is it is not normal to hold people-----
-----without trial for over a year for property damage.
That is the point I was making and the Taoiseach knows it.
Exactly.
Israeli weaponry property? No.
The new roll-out of BusConnects routes has been a disaster in my constituency. Constituents report that buses on the F spine route, which were supposed to provide a more direct route to the city centre and greater connectivity, are taking 20 to 30 minutes longer to get into town and providing fewer options for people trying to get to work or school. It is made worse by the frequent delays and cancellations seen across nearly all routes in Dublin South-West, including the S and W spines operated by Go-Ahead Ireland.…
Some of it.
We all know the harm that can result from online toxic material. We know especially the harm that can be done to children. We have had fine speeches from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael TDs making that point, but what is the Government going to do about it? The answer so far is nothing. It is a fine issue to make speeches about and to have concerns on, but when it comes to taking action and taking on the big tech companies, the Government has a record of inaction so far. The Government set up Coimisiún na Meán to regulat…
There are many people doing important work in adult education across this country. One mechanism for that is so-called local training initiatives, LTIs. There are 100 workers spread out throughout 16 ETBs. Scandalously, these workers for LTIs have not had an increase in their pay in 20 years despite the deepening cost-of-living crisis. In 2001, the Labour Court recognised pay inequities within the community training programme and recommended a 20% pay increase, as well as future increases, but they were not extende…
This is dystopian stuff. Under an innocuous title, the Arbitration (Amendment) Bill, what is being proposed is a fundamental challenge to democracy, sovereignty and people’s environmental and labour standards. What the Government is proposing to do, in darkness, is to sign Ireland up to a parallel justice system. This is not a justice system that the Minister of State and I can access; it is a justice system only for corporations. That is what is proposed and that is what CETA is about, or at least that is what the…
It is the Irish law versus CETA.
That is not true.
There is.
Indirect expropriation.
