On prevailing side: this member voted
with the winning side in 646 of
653 decisive votes

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.

That is concerning to hear. The HSE has engaged in good faith and the Government has funded the payments in good faith so that those in the voluntary sector and the private sector, such as in nursing homes, would make these payments. The criteria are clear for those employers in terms of the periods when the workers would need to have been there and whether they were involved in patient-facing areas, so there should not be a problem. It is concerning to hear the reports the Deputy is getting, so I will take them ba…

I will not be correcting the record. The data I have is the HSE figures, the 8 a.m. TrolleyGAR figures, which showed the averages there. I read the Senator's letter this morning. Senator Gavan is factually incorrect. The Senator is out of order asking me to correct the record.

The information I have directly from the HSE is the 8 a.m. figures and they were the averages at that time.

Per day, the average 8 a.m. TrolleyGAR figure was exactly that.

I will ask for the direction of the Acting Chairperson on the following point. A vote is being called and, unfortunately, pairs are not being granted. I want to respond comprehensively. I have a proposition but I do not know if it is in order. Senator Gavan raised a point of order that I am very happy to address now. Perhaps the House could suspend after that and I will give a comprehensive response thereafter.

Senator Gavan wrote to me. He has, in quite a melodramatic fashion, practically accused me of misleading the Seanad. The Senator is referring to figures I gave at a debate in this House on 1 February, when I said the number of patients on trolleys at 8 a.m. that morning was eight. Obviously, as Minister for Health, I am quoting the HSE 8 a.m. TrolleyGAR figures. I said that the average, thanks to the extraordinary work of the team at University Hospital Limerick, had fallen to approximately six. I was pretty sure I…
