I presume we will get the same amount of time as the two previous speakers.
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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

It should be shared out fairly. I was going to raise the issue of the Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021, which the Taoiseach mentioned, but for the week that is in it, I will raise an issue regarding forestry, which I assume this Cabinet committee also deals with because the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the various other Departments that deal with forestry are also under its remit. As I understand it, the division that deals with fisheri…
May we have two minutes extra for this grouping to allow the Taoiseach to answer our questions? We kept within time.
We kept within our time. Could we even have a minute and a half?
Two minutes, yes. We need it.
I need an answer as well.
I have a copy of the advertisement to sell off forests.
It is not your slot.
Any talk of economic recovery is rendered meaningless if the cost of living skyrockets, as it is doing for ordinary working people. The amount of tax relief the Government gave them in the budget was miserable for the average worker, against a background of an increase of between €500 and €1,000 in energy costs for many households, disproportionately hitting the less well off. Moreover, waste charge bills are increasing, private operators are profit-gouging, the price of TV packages is increasing, carbon tax, of co…
Hold on a second.
We all have questions tabled, and some people should not get more time than others.
Hold on. That is just not on. On a point of order, a Cheann Comhairle.
We have equal entitlement to that time allocation-----
-----and normally there is a one-and-a-half-minute or a one-minute restriction on the questions-----
-----so everyone gets to ask a question and the Taoiseach gets time to reply.
It is your people speaking longer than everyone else.
So am I.
I was not. That is rubbish.
I am a lifelong opponent of antisemitism. More than a decade ago, I brought an Auschwitz survivor to this city, organised meetings and got her on "The Late Late Show" to remind people of the horrors of the Holocaust, and I would do it again. We should always remind people of how horrendous the Holocaust was. The point we were making is that Israel consistently equates criticism of the apartheid policies it practises against the Palestinians with antisemitism. It promotes a definition of antisemitism that includes l…
I am not sure if Deputy Barry is coming.
