Seanad Éireann · 2026-07-16
Party shown is the one held on 2026-07-16, frozen at parse time — not the speaker's party today.
I move: That Seanad Éireann approves the following Order in draft: Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2022 (Section 9(2)) (Amount of Financial Contribution) Order 2025 (Revocation) Order 2026, a copy of which was laid in draft form before Seanad Éireann on 2nd July, 2026.” I move amendment No. 1: 1.
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 123 words across 3 contributions by 3 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 3 contributions, start to finish, in the order they were made. The one you came here for is highlighted.
I move:
That Seanad Éireann approves the following Order in draft:
Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2022 (Section 9(2)) (Amount of Financial Contribution) Order 2025 (Revocation) Order 2026,
a copy of which was laid in draft form before Seanad Éireann on 2nd July, 2026.”
I move amendment No. 1:
1. To delete all words after “That Seanad Éireann approves the following Order in draft:” and substitute the following:
“Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2022 (Section 9(2)) (Amount of Financial Contribution) Order 2025 (Revocation) Order 2026, a copy of which was laid in draft form before Seanad Éireann on 2nd July, 2026, and further calls on the Government to provide that the Accommodation Recognition Payment (ARP) Scheme shall apply only to:
- existing recipients with respect to the beneficiaries of temporary protection currently benefitting from the scheme where those beneficiaries of temporary protection have satisfied a means test similar to those applicable for other housing assistance payments;
- new applicants who propose to host a beneficiary of temporary protection in their property which is also their own primary residence and who have not availed of the Rent-a-Room Scheme in the previous 24 months; ensuring that the ARP does not further distort the rental sector; and
- recipients who are not in receipt of any additional or ‘top-up’ payments from a beneficiary of temporary protection.”
I second the amendment.
