Tánaiste Simon Harris survived a Dáil confidence vote into his handling of the child scoliosis issue this week, with 94 TDs voting that they had confidence in Harris and and 65 voting that they did not.
The motion was triggered early in advance of a planned no-confidence motion that was set to take place next week, brought forward by Aontú leader Peadar Toibín. Toibín said he wanted voters to consider Harris’ record on child scoliosis ahead of going to the polls to vote in the Presidential election.
Just one TD present on the day – Independent Paul Gogarty – abstained.
Here’s the full list of everyone who voted yay or nay to the Tánaiste’s record:
