On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 34 of 819 decisive votes (8 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.

Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements

Quite a few, I would say.

Will the Taoiseach respond on the visas issue?

May we have a 30-second reply on the visa issue?

Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements

The Dutch have rent controls that are not dissimilar to the ones we put forward, which the Taoiseach’s Government rejected. It was claimed that our proposals were "illiterate" and "unworkable". Perhaps the Taoiseach should have asked Mark Rutte about how the rent controls work in the Netherlands. That country has a points system for the quality and size of a property. The majority of properties below a certain standard are subject to maximum rent caps. This means that the Netherlands does not have the exponential r…

Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements

Surely the Taoiseach does not believe they are working.

Departmental Strategies

The Taoiseach will not be surprised that I want to raise the housing element of the national reform programme. One of the issues that should now set alarm bells ringing is that the construction sector in this country is starting to contract. As inadequate a plan as Housing for All is, and it is wholly inadequate and does not address the crisis, even it may not now be delivered as we are starting to see a contraction in construction because of rising costs. How will the Government respond to that? We have a develope…

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements

When I refer to murderous military aggression, illegal occupation, destruction of homes and key infrastructure, crimes against humanity and war crimes, what country am I talking about? Is it Palestine or Ukraine? Of course, the answer is that it is both. This Government is more than willing to do something to condemn and take actions to deal with illegal occupation, murderous unjustified military violence, destruction of infrastructure and homes and the killing of civilians when it comes to one of those places, but…

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements

My questions follow on from what I said earlier. How is it acceptable that people with Irish passports, who are Irish citizens and who seek to enter Palestine or Israel, do not have those passports recognised by the Israeli authorities because they also have Palestinian family connections? That is apartheid. Let us be clear: it is racism that is informing that policy. It is a clear apartheid, racist policy, not just directed against Palestinians within occupied Palestine, but directed now against Irish citizens. Th…

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements

Crimes against humanity committed by Israel are war crimes documented over long periods, with no accountability and no sanctions, yet there are immediate demands from the Government and Europe for accountability and sanctions when it comes to Russia's horrible crimes against humanity.

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages

A mountain fell down because all the trees on the top of it were cut down and a wind farm was built. This had devastating consequences for a community. If we do not get this stuff right, it has very serious consequences. A huge number of fines were then levied on this country for years. We are now planning major industrial development in our marine area. We have a Government that is giving a special pass, as I see it, to a number of legacy projects that will see massive industrial development all around the near co…
