Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed)
It was in their budget, Michael.
Pearse Doherty
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.

The Minister of State did not even turn up for the vote years ago. He did not turn up years ago. Tell the people of Kerry that one.

The Minister of State has accused Members here of telling lies. I would like him to clarify if carbon tax is not a part of the budget he has agreed to. Is it not?

Budget Statement 2026
Go raibh maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. Before I begin my response to the budget, I want to take this moment to remember all those who lost their lives in the Creeslough tragedy three years ago today, very close to this time. Three years on, that tragedy has still left many scars and pains, and the families are still searching for answers. The Minister for justice has refused to meet the families until the end of the criminal investigation.

Is dréachtphlean é chun leanúint go deo le géarchéim tithíochta agus sláinte agus geallúintí toghcháin scriosta agus caite sa bhosca bruscair. An chéad cinn…
