Seanad: Order of Business. (16 Nov 2005): Michael McCarthy: It used to be said that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Could we get a box of apples delivered to the Cabinet table, for example, and keep Fianna FÃ¡il and the Progressive Democrats out of Government Buildings?
Seanad: Morris Tribunal Reports: Motion. (15 Jun 2005): Michael McCarthy: ...and work with that information to ensure we have a police force that is beyond reproach. Inevitably, the reputation of the Garda SÃochÃ¡na has been besmirched by the activities of a few rotten apples.

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
