On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 697 of 704 decisive votes (2 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.

Third Level Education

I thank the Deputy for his well made and passionate points. The points made by the INTO are valid. I will convey the Deputy's views on the matter to the Minister, Deputy Foley. I am sure he has already done so. My Department stands ready to work with the Departments of Education and Health to increase the graduate supply. The other matters are for the Department of Education but I will speak to the Minister on them.

Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

That is correct.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

I did not intervene.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

She did not hear it from me. I do not know where she got that. The Deputy Leader did not speak to me.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

Then do not speak for me either.

Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

That is not true now.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

She is wrong.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

She is wrong. I am the Minister. I am aware of what I say and what I do not say, thank you.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

It was not on my instruction.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

I do not know who guillotined it.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

By whom? By me?

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

That is a terrible slur.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

To be helpful to the House, what Senator McDowell read out is exactly what I said. It is an exact transcript. I am not a Member of the Upper House and I do not order the business here. To be clear, I did not hear what the Deputy Leader said but she had no conversation with me. This House reached out to my office today. My office said I would make myself available tomorrow but I was told that would not work for the Seanad. My office told the Seanad that I would make myself available on Friday but I was told that wou…

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

I am available tomorrow. I am available on Friday.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

I am available tomorrow and on Friday.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

I think the House probably requires me for the legislation.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

Sorry, the Senator should not accuse anyone of using weasel words.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

Senator McDowell is pontificating.

FG 2022-07-06 · Seanad
Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Committee Stage

It could have been given.
