On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 90 of 935 decisive votes (3 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.

National Retrofit Plan: Motion [Private Members]

The national retrofit plan is not working. The SEAI has confirmed that it is now taking up to 28 months for applications to the warmer homes scheme to be dealt with. I am a contractor. I flagged this issue 12 months ago when the Minister, Deputy Ryan, was looking at bringing out this retrofit system. I also said that it would not provide value for money at a time of an energy crisis and prices going through the roof. Some people who are looking at the grant system will not take it up because, given the current high…

An Bord Pleanála: Statements

I have been in construction all my life. In helping people with planning permissions in areas such as one-off houses and businesses across the board, the biggest thing we must deal with to help people put a roof over their heads is An Bord Pleanála. I have a serious concern that even with the planning process in place, people, no matter where they are in the country, can pay €20 to object to an application, no matter how silly or important it is. Again, these people are serial objectors. Why they cannot be filtered…

Security of Electricity Supply: Motion [Private Members]

The cracks are showing, are they not? I see the Minister's party colleagues are on radio saying that they believe the peat plants should be opened up again to provide power for the people who put them here to protect them. We all want to protect the environment and the universe but we put our people first and we work for the future. What the Minister has done to the people of Ireland is nothing but criminal. What his party has done to people of Ireland and the hardship it will put them through is nothing but crimin…

For the record, the last time I brought up that comment when the Ceann Comhairle and everyone else was here, not one person pulled me for that comment. That will tell the Leas-Cheann Comhairle what it means.

Water Services (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022: Second Stage

Irish Water was allocated a fund for the greater Dublin area drainage project of €410 million and €294 million for the water supply project. The funding for these two projects was ring-fenced for the duration of Irish Water's third revenue control period, RC3, although the company could not access the fund for diversion of projects. Irish Water is now proposing that the ring-fenced funding be used broadly across the portfolio to absorb the impact of inflationary pressure, given that the money will not be utilised f…
