Seanad: Sick Leave Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (5 Jul 2022): Gerry Horkan: I appreciate that we are where we are with the Bill and if I was sitting where the Senator is sitting, I would probably be echoing the same points. However, from the Chair, I have to be neutral and I must point out that, at this stage, where the Bill has been received for final consideration, only very brief comments can be made. I invite Senators Ahearn and Casey to make brief points.
Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Improving Investment Opportunities in the Wider Economy: Discussion (4 May 2017): Gerry Horkan: ...we are an island. Pre-Brexit or without Brexit we might have argued there is potential for projects with the North of Ireland. Is there any way we can harness or tap into this? Geographically we are where we are, but is there scope for us getting involved?

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:
