The Deputy is way over time.

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.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
The House has previously agreed that for the duration of the Covid emergency, the rapporteur's report on the Order of Business shall not be read out but shall be taken as read. Arising from it, however, there are three proposals to be put to the House today. First, is the proposal for today's business agreed?

I do not think this is relevant.

Let the Taoiseach answer.

I am confused about the question put by Deputy Boyd Barrett. The House approved a programme of work for the Covid-19 response committee and Deputy Boyd Barrett has told us this programme of work will not happen. I presume that is a matter for the Covid committee rather than for the House.

I ask Deputy Cullinane to illuminate the matter for us, without giving a long speech.

That is correct.

No, wait. I ask Deputy Cullinane to resume his seat.

Please, Deputy Cullinane. I want to get some clarity on a process. The House approved a programme of work, which takes into account these critical matters.

Deputies were told within the last hour that that programme of work is not going ahead in the Covid-19 committee.

We must get some formal response from the committee to advise the House as to what is going on. I do not think the Taoiseach can answer that. He is not running the committee and neither is Deputy Boyd Barrett.

That is fine. I ask Deputy Boyd Barrett to resume his seat and let us see if we can resolve this situation. We will arrange, through the Business Committee, to try to resolve this matter this afternoon and to try to bring clarity to it.

I understand the Taoiseach may have some clarification for the House in respect of the Special Committee on Covid-19 Response.

Deputy Cullinane, please. You have made your point and Deputy Mac Lochlainn has made the same point and both have made it very clearly.

I call Deputy Duncan Smith and then Deputy Boyd Barrett.
