Seanad Éireann · 2024-10-24
Party shown is the one held on 2024-10-24, frozen at parse time — not the speaker's party today.
I move: That, pursuant to subsection 2° of section 2 of Article 25 of the Constitution, Seanad Éireann concurs with the Government in a request to the President to sign the Maternity Protection Bill 2024 on a date which is earlier than the fifth day after the date on which the Bill shall have been presented to him. It is nice when legislation has support from all sides. I congratulate him and his officials in that regard.
Equally, I congratulate and thank all the Members for their participation in a process that has brought this matter to a successful conclusion. At 1 p.m. on Tuesday, 5 November 2024.
Built by scoring every sentence in the debate on how distinctive its language is, then quoting the highest-scoring ones back word for word and in the order spoken. Nothing is paraphrased or invented — if a sentence appears here, it was said in the chamber. Drawn from 54 words across 5 contributions by 2 speakers.
How often each word appears across the whole debate, ranked by how distinctive it is to this debate rather than common to all parliamentary language.
All 5 contributions, start to finish, in the order they were made. The one you came here for is highlighted.

I thank the Minister for attending. It is nice when legislation has support from all sides. He worked hard to get here. I congratulate him and his officials in that regard. Equally, I congratulate and thank all the Members for their participation in a process that has brought this matter to a successful conclusion.
