Search for apple speaker:Emmet Stagg (KildareStreet.com)

Order of Business (25 Jun 2009): Emmet Stagg: ...because the Government had no legislation ready. It was the Government's fault, not this Assembly's. It is the Executive's job to introduce legislation. We debated matters like motherhood and apple pie, more or less.
Order of Business (15 Nov 2007): Emmet Stagg: ...are not necessary, as was demonstrated yesterday. Instead of the Opposition calling for a debate on various issues of concern to the public, we now have the Government proposing motherhood and apple pie type proposals. It will have a debate on young people's issues or climate change â pure fillers in a parliamentary sense â without a motion being tabled.

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
