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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Táimid chun déileáil le hUimh. 12a, ráiteas ón Aire Sláinte agus ceisteanna agus freagraí maidir le Covid-19. It is becoming something of a habit to be here late on a Thursday evening, addressing important matters. Let us hope this will be the last occasion on which we will have to do something like this on a Thursday evening. The Minister is very welcome.

Before the Minister responds, I want to be clear that the Minister has a responsibility for who he spoke to but he cannot reasonably be expected to respond to the House in respect of who spoke to somebody else. We do not operate on the basis of "dúirt bean liom go ndúirt bean léi".

In fairness, even on a human level, I suspect this is something the Deputy would be much better taking up with the Tánaiste than the Minister for Health. I know we have collective Cabinet responsibility but the Deputy would be much better having that debate with the Tánaiste than a third party.
