What the debate was about

Auto-generated

The Green Party will vote confidence in the Minister, Deputy Coveney, and the Government this evening. It is why this House should vote no confidence in the Minister, Deputy Coveney. Tonight, we will vote no confidence in the Minister, Deputy Coveney.

I support the motion of absolute and full confidence in the Minister, Deputy Coveney, continuing as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Defence at this crucial time for our State and the European Union. I will oppose the Government motion of confidence in the Minister, Deputy Coveney, for the simple reason that I have no confidence not just in the Minister, but in the Government. The Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, is sharing time with the Minister, Deputy Coveney.

Party shown is the one each member held on 2021-09-15, frozen by a dated join — not their party today. The Oireachtas API publishes no date of birth and returns an empty gender field for every member in this period, so no age or gender breakdown is shown.
