TD Property Interests & Housing Votes
Every number below comes from two public sources: the Register of Members' Interests (Ethics in Public Office Act 1995) and recorded Dáil divisions from the Oireachtas API. No estimated values. No speculation. No modelled data. If it's on this page, it's on the public record.

How to read this dashboard
Tá = voted yes (in favour). Níl = voted no (against). Staon = abstained (present but chose not to vote).
Passed means the majority voted yes — the motion was adopted or the bill progresses. Defeated means the majority voted no — the proposal was rejected and nothing changes in law or policy.
Most votes follow the party whip — government TDs (FF/FG) vote together, opposition TDs vote together. The interesting signal is when a TD with declared property interests votes against tenant protections, or breaks from their party on housing.

Methodology & Sources
Property Declarations
All property data comes from the Register of Members' Interests, Dáil Éireann 2024, published 27 February 2025 under the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995. TDs are legally required to declare property interests, business interests, and sources of income. The register does not include property values — only that properties exist and their general type/location.
We include only TDs whose declarations contain sufficient detail to verify. TDs not listed here may still own property — they simply haven't declared interests that meet our inclusion threshold, or they may not own property beyond their family home (which is generally exempt from declaration).
Voting Records
Voting data is fetched from the Oireachtas Open Data API, which records every formal division (recorded vote) in the Dáil. We filter for housing-related divisions by matching debate titles and vote subjects against housing keywords (e.g. "residential tenancies", "housing", "rent", "homeless", "planning and development").
A TD's absence from a vote record means they were not present for that division — it does not indicate a position on the issue.
What This Dashboard Does Not Do
- It does not estimate property values
- It does not model or predict voting behaviour
- It does not imply wrongdoing — owning property and voting on housing legislation are both legal
- It does not include TDs who are not landlords
The purpose is transparency: voters should know whether their representatives have financial interests in housing when they vote on housing policy. That's it.
