No named votes yet

  • Cavan County Council: The minutes since July 2024 have all been read. They record votes as totals only, never how each councillor voted.
  • Clare County Council: The minutes from May 2025 have all been read and record votes as totals only. Minutes from June 2024 to April 2025 are no longer on the council’s website.
  • Galway City Council: The minutes give the totals for and against but not how each councillor voted. A few from late 2024 and mid-2025 can no longer be downloaded from the council’s website.
  • Longford County Council: The minutes since June 2024 have all been read. They record votes as totals only, never how each councillor voted.
  • Westmeath County Council: The minutes since June 2024 have all been read. They record votes as totals only, never how each councillor voted.

Incomplete

  • Offaly County Council: Most decisions are agreed without a vote. A few unanimous votes are recorded without naming who was present, so they are not shown.
  • Mayo County Council: Most decisions are agreed without a vote. Three recorded votes are left out: two because the minutes list a councillor on both sides, one because it was a choice between two candidates.
  • Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council: Most of the council’s minutes are kept on a document site that requires a council login. Only minutes attached to public consultations could be read, so these votes cover two meetings.
  • Galway County Council: The minutes are scanned images, read with text recognition. Minutes for the June 2024 annual meeting and the November 2024 monthly and budget meetings are not published, so their votes are missing.
  • Kildare County Council: Most votes are recorded as totals only. Only roll-call votes list how each councillor voted, and those are shown here.

  7. 28 Sep 2026Dublin City Council2 Motions on NoticeMotion No. 6 in the name of Councillor Malachy Steenson This Council calls for the establishment of a State of Emergency in relation to the out-of-control crime situation across this City and Country and the break down of Law and Order. In the recent past we have seen Jihadi attacks injuring an Army Officer, a Garda Officer and young children, there is now an epidemic of knife crime on the streets carried out mainly by non-nationals. We call for the immediate deportation of any non-nationals convicted of crime and the revocation of Irish Citizenship from them if they have been granted it. Further we demand that Gardai be given effective martial arts skills to effect arrests of these individuals as a number of arrest videos circulating show that the Garda involved are incapable of quickly subduing these individuals and arresting them. The recent decision of the Garda Commissioner not to prosecute those caught with drugs for personal possession while at the same time prosecuting those same individuals for not wearing high vis vests and helmets while plying their trade. Citizens are rightly concerned about the connections between organised crime gangs and AGS, and have lost confident in AGS to implement the law fairly and equally. It is clear that something is going badly wrong there are currently 6 members of the Garda before the Courts charged with assisting an Organised Crime Gang, with over 200 charges between them, there are a growing number of cases involving members of the Garda which are being hidden form the public. The public are entitled to know why were the charges against Inspector Roberts dropped and who decided firstly to charge him and then drop the charges. Further the public are entitled to know the circumstances around the death of Superintendent Fox which led to the collapse of a major OCG trial. Further in light of continual anti-social behaviour much of it fuelled by drug use and the drug trade this Council rejects the findings of the Oireachtas Committee on Drug Use and confirms its commitment to oppose any legalisation or decriminalisation of currently illegal drugs and seeks a real commitment from the State agencies to finally bring an end to the cancer that has destroyed and continues to destroy parts of our area. A cancer that has got worse year by year and decade by decade where we now see children as young as ten involved in dealing and parents being violently pursued with immunity by drug gangs for the drug debts of their children.Lost 4–46

  10. 14 Sep 2026Sligo County Council4.17 RANDOM SCREENING OF TD'S, SENATORS AND COUNCILLORS“That Sligo County Council write to the AILG AND LAMA and the Ceann Comhairle of Dail Eireann and the Cathaoirleach of Seanad Eireann, to explore random screening of TD's, Senators and Councillors to ensure that no member is under the influence of Drugs or Alcohol when decisions are being taken. Sports people have been subject to these tests for years and political leaders should be subject to the same scrutiny to ensure that decisions are taken with clear minds and that illegal drugs are not being taken. This would add to public confidence in politics and acceptance that these rules apply to everyone equally”.Carried 8–0
