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.

The Minister can see it. I have it with me. I will show it to him.

It was in our budget submission. The Minister is misinforming the House.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation

Members of the Irish Wheelchair Association, IWA, including staff and wheelchair users, were protesting outside today. They may still be there. I strongly urge the Taoiseach to look at its pre-budget submission. All of the wheelchair users I spoke said they feel abandoned and they are not getting the income supports they need to deal with the additional costs of disability, which the Department itself has acknowledged amount to between €9,000 and €11,000. The lack of funding for properly adapted accommodation or ho…

Climate Action Plan

As the Taoiseach knows, climate change, among other things, results in extreme weather events. One impact and consequence that is becoming apparent in my area, and in other areas with swimming spots around Dublin Bay, is that when we get these torrential downpours the pumping stations that deal with foul water overflow. The good weather of the past week or so has meant thousands of people are swimming. Yesterday, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council had to issue a no-swim notice. This was not because it knows ther…

Cabinet Committees

The Taoiseach might not have been aware of this, but the Writers Guild of Ireland have been protesting in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America, whose members have been on strike, essentially over streaming companies and film producers robbing them of their residuals or royalties for the work they do on films, which massively cuts into the income of writers and artists. This echoes issues I have raised in the House for years regarding the use of buy-out contracts by film producers in this country, which are …

And the fixed-term workers. Could the Taoiseach try to get me the contacts?

Official Engagements

We have highlighted over recent days and weeks our fear that the Government's consultative forum is stacked with pro-NATO voices, NATO employees, generals, brigadiers, people involved with the military-industrial complex and those generally in favour of militarisation. The Taoiseach said – yesterday, I believe – that he would consider the possibility of rebalancing the forum. Has he done so? At the moment, it is just a sham and reflects an incredibly pro-NATO, pro-militarisation basis. The political community meeti…
