Policy Tracker

How every TD in the Dáil votes on the issues that affect your life — matched against their declared financial interests. All data from the Oireachtas API and the Register of Members' Interests.

How to Read This Page

Yes Vote
The TD voted in favour of the motion, bill, or amendment. They want this to pass.
Níl No Vote
The TD voted against. They want this to fail. Government TDs almost always vote Níl on opposition motions — this is whip-driven, not necessarily personal.
Staon Abstain
The TD was present but chose not to vote either way. This is often the most telling — it can signal discomfort with their party's position.
Carried Motion Passed
The majority voted Tá. This means: the bill progresses to the next stage, or the motion is adopted as a position of the Dáil. Government bills almost always pass. Opposition motions almost never do.
Lost Motion Defeated
The majority voted Níl. This means: the proposal is rejected. When an opposition rent freeze or housing motion is "Lost", it means the government used its majority to defeat it. The issue doesn't go away — but nothing changes.
Declared Financial Interest
This TD has declared a relevant financial interest in the Register of Members' Interests. They are legally required to declare it — but not required to abstain from voting on related legislation.

Why "Carried" and "Lost" matter to you: When a motion to freeze rents is "Lost", your rent can still go up. When a bill to fund social housing is "Carried", it moves to the next legislative stage (it doesn't mean houses get built tomorrow — it means the Dáil has agreed in principle). When a motion on hospital waiting lists is "Lost", nothing changes in policy.

Why party whips matter: Most votes in the Dáil are decided by the party whip, not individual conscience. FF and FG TDs almost always vote together as the government majority. SF, Labour, SD, and PBP almost always vote together as the opposition. The interesting signal is when a TD breaks the whip — voting against their own party, or abstaining when their party votes as a block.

Why declared interests matter: Under the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995, TDs must declare financial interests — property, shares, directorships, occupations, contracts with the State. They are not required to recuse themselves from voting on related legislation. A TD who owns 27 rental properties can vote against rent controls. A TD who is a practising solicitor can vote against legal aid reform. This is legal. Whether it's acceptable is for you to decide.

What this page does not do: It does not allege wrongdoing. It does not estimate property values. It does not model or predict behaviour. It connects two public datasets — the Register of Members' Interests and the Oireachtas vote record — so you can see the connection for yourself.
