On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 34 of 855 decisive votes (4 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.

There are multiple different reasons for these letters being sent out to the parents and they are contradictory.
Incompetence is the defining characteristic of this Government, which has displayed a complete inability to deliver services. In many areas, the USSR did a better job of delivering services than this Government. Right now, delivery of a whole range of services is grinding to a halt across the country. There are places in this country where you cannot get clean water from the taps. The electricity drops in 50,000 homes every week. We are talking about a very basic and simple service here but people are waiting 30 or…
I, too, offer my deepest sympathies and the sympathies of Aontú to the family of Kevin Flatley. This is a disaster for Kevin's family and friends. It is also a disaster that 90 gardaí have lost their lives in the line of duty since the foundation of the State. Many families fear when their parent or loved one goes out to work that they might not see them come back. Yet, those people still commit to going out and working for our safety on a daily basis. Families are struggling to get healthcare for their children on…
-----sure this never happens again, surely there is an urgency in seeing to it that the audit is completed as soon as possible. When will parents know what happened to their children?
There are major problems in the health service that the Government can act on now that have led, in part, to the difficulties we are suffering. There is not proper data collection in our health service at the moment. There is not a proper digital patient number in the health service. We do not have a good register of information in the health service. The capture of outcomes is not valued in the health service. We do not track patients in a similar fashion to other jurisdictions to enable us to be able to flag thes…
It is not getting to the front line.
Not what is necessary.
Some 50,000 operations were cancelled-----
I have a Bill if all the leaders of the parties want to sign it.
Revenge for 2010.
Can I put on the record of the Dáil that I have sent an email to the leaders of all political parties to ask them to sign a Bill that would look for voting rights for Irish citizens in the North of Ireland? It is an issue bigger than any political party and we should not put party first in relation to it. We received a parliamentary reply showing Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael Ministers have quashed or overturned 4,000 deportation orders in the past ten years. The number of deportation orders quashed or overturned is a …
Yes, a ten-year period.
There are 140 that have been quashed this year so far.
It is 140 this year.
The actions have not changed from the Government.
Four hundred and sixteen were quashed last year and 500 the year before.
I will also raise the issue of an investigation in respect of Sean Brown. All of us in this Chamber have talked about what the GAA means to us. Sean Brown was murdered in large part because he was a GAA member and official. On the day he was abducted by loyalists, he was simply closing the gates of Bellaghy Wolfe Tones Gaelic Athletic Club in Derry. I welcome the Tánaiste's meeting with the family of Sean Brown. I believe he gave the family great confidence that action will be taken. I also welcome the Taoiseach's …
I have been told by people working within the health service that there are senior healthcare professionals at the moment, including some consultants, who are creating their own private companies and diverting patients from public waiting lists to their newly created private companies. It has been alleged in one case that a consultant, who created a private firm to read scans, used the hospital public waiting lists to funnel work through rostering into his own private company. It is an incredible situation and a ma…
I welcome the pause in insourcing, but we have to ask why this is happening. I spoke to staff in a hospital in the midlands today. They told me they had a red escalation over the bank holiday weekend, which is unheard of in the middle of summer. It is something that usually happens in December and January. They have been told to get patients out of the hospital and free up operations and other elective engagements so that they can orientate staff towards the people in emergency departments. There are 461 people on …
The Government is employing a new housing tzar with a salary of €430,000, which is an incredible figure. Because of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Independents, that may well be the salary someone needs to buy a home in many parts of this country at the moment. We have a record-breaking Government for all the wrong reasons. We have record house prices, rents and numbers of people on the homeless list at the moment. There are incredible figures. This Government is in reverse on the most important issue facing the co…
