Irish Water: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Oct 2014): John McGuinness: ...is throwing out loose facts and figures. They do not even know whether they are facts and figures, and they will not substantiate them, just as much as they did not know the cost of setting up Irish Water.

Public Accounts Committee: 2012 Annual Report and Appropriation Accounts of the Comptroller and Auditor General Vote 38 - Health Vote 39 - Health Service Executive Chapter 21 - Budget Management in Health Service Executive Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014): John McGuinness: The HSE was almost negligent in terms of the past and compliance with sections 38 and 39.

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:
- party:Lab
- department:Defence
- section:seanad OR section:wrans
- section:debates
- section:committees
- date:20120918
- 20080101..20080131
