Rent Reduction Bill 2023: First Stage
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Seán Ó Fearghaíl
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 decisive votes (0 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.

I ask Deputy Gannon to resume his seat. The Deputy's time will be respected. Of course, it will. There is provision for statements, not questions and answers. We will not turn it into a circus. We have had the statements - end of story. We will move on now to Deputy Gannon.
