Statement by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform
The Minister needs to answer questions.

Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 49 of 1,011 decisive votes (16 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.

He is the Minister overseeing SIPO. Breaches of the law have happened. This is ridiculous. It is ridiculous. The Minister is refusing to answer questions because he has been caught out.

Capacity in the Health Services: Motion [Private Members]
Everyone knows someone who is waiting on an operation, is in therapy or is unable to get a much-needed appointment. We all know our health service is not working. It is plagued by overcrowding, which is putting patients at risk and condemns our healthcare staff to working conditions that they simply should not have to put up with. The crisis has been brewing for some time and has gotten so bad that patients and their families have almost come to accept that it is normal. It is not acceptable and it is not normal. T…

Ba mhaith liom mo chomhbhrón féin a chur in iúl do theaghlach Private Séan Rooney, a chaill a shaol go tragóideach sa Liobáin, agus dá chomhghleacaithe uilig sna Fórsaí Cosanta, Óglaigh na hÉireann. Tá an ECB leis an ráta úis a ardú arís. Beidh an ráta tar éis dul ó 0% nuair a bhí an samhradh ann go dtí 2.5%. Mar atá a fhios ag an Tánaiste, tá teaghlaigh ag streachailt ó thaobh costais mhaireachtála agus beidh tionchar ag an ardú seo ar dhaoine a bhfuil morgáiste rianúcháin acu agus ar theaghlaigh a bhfuil a gcuid …

The funds are not breaking the contract. They always had the ability to do this, just like the banks have the ability to pass on interest rate hikes, which they are not doing because they have long-term interest. The funds have no such interest. That is why family homes should never have been allowed to be in the hands of vulture funds. We have people who are going to get another letter after today, the fourth such letter since the summer, saying the interest rate on their mortgage has increased again. For people t…

We are now over two years into the programme for Government yet the transfer of specialist disability services from the Department of Health to the Department of the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, has still not taken place. Yesterday the Minister for Health, Deputy Donnelly, confirmed that this transfer would take place on 1 March next year but failed to clarify whether the €65 million in one-off funding which was promised in September's budget would be distributed to services before this date. Both Ministers, Deputy D…
