I call on the Minister, Deputy Heather Humphreys, to make a proposal in respect of the office of Taoiseach.

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.

Dearbhaíonn é sin go bhfuil an Teachta Simon Harris roghnaithe chun a cheapadh ag an Uachtarán mar Thaoiseach. I formally welcome members of the Harris family to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery. They are all very welcome. I really do believe this will be a memory that will be firmly ensconced in the memories of Cillian and Saoirse. Long may they remember this great achievement on the part of their dad. Taoiseach-elect, do you think you might be able to say a few words to us?

For Deputy Barry's information, there are 48 parliamentary friendship groups and not one of them was established as a result of any one individual Member. It is unfair to target any Member as being responsible for the establishment of a particular friendship group.
