Thank you, Tánaiste.
Verona Murphy
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 172 of 425 decisive votes (10 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.

Ceisteanna ó na Comhaltaí Eile - Other Members’ Questions
Before we move to Other Members' Questions, I have a message to welcome the guests from Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí in Tralee. They are guests of Deputy Pa Daly but I am reliably informed the Minister of State, Deputy Michael Moynihan's wife is a teacher there. They are very welcome.

I have to check formula-wise. Deputy Gannon is down for interaction but I am not sure the Deputies can share time. The Deputies are not sponsors of the Bill, or are they?

The Deputies can finish out their time. They have five minutes. It is two and a half minutes each, if that is what they wish.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Before calling Deputy McDonald, I welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery the Canadian ambassador, H.E. Dennis King, who is on a scheduled visit. Although I spoke to him earlier this morning, I take a moment to convey from us all our heartfelt sympathy following the tragic incident that occurred yesterday in British Columbia. The ambassador should know that the victims, the injured, their families and the whole community of Tumbler Ridge are in our thoughts and prayers. I thank him for being with us.
