Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Mar 2024): Mattie McGrath: ...on care was deliberately chosen by the Government to avoid a concrete and mandatory obligation on the State. Imagine that the Government would do that to the most vulnerable people and their carers and treat them in such a fashion, by trying to undermine and sabotage them by putting such a wording in. These same people were then forced by the Government to canvass for a "Yes" vote. This...
Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Mar 2024): Mattie McGrath: .... Imagine trying to put that to the people, that this advice was kept secret. However the advice did come out. The Government deliberately got a wording for the amendment on care that would damage carers and would not give any kind of commitment.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Mar 2024): Micheál Martin: The wording would not have damaged carers.

KildareStreet search is case-insensitive, and tries to match all the search terms within a document.
To exclude a word from your search, put a minus ("-") sign in front, for example to find documents containing the word "representation" but not the word "taxation":
representation -taxation
To search for an exact phrase, use quotes (""). For example to find only documents contain the exact phrase "Mahon Tribunal":
"mahon tribunal"
If you want to search for words only when they're used near each other in the text, use "NEAR". For example, to find documents containing the word "elephant" near the word "room":
elephant NEAR room
If the search phrase matches (part of) a TD or Senator's name, their own page will appear as the top result, but will also search speeches made by them too.
From a person's page, you have the option to search only their speeches.
Advanced Users: You can perform boolean searches, with brackets, AND, OR, and XOR. There are many prefixes you can use directly instead of the advanced search form, here's a selection:

- section:debates
- section:committees
- date:20120918
