Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Barry Andrews held the seat, 606 of them the final vote on a text. A member with no vote recorded may have been on parliamentary business, ill, on leave, or present without voting - the published record does not distinguish these and gives no reason. Votes taken by show of hands or by secret ballot are not recorded by name and are absent here.
How they voted on final texts
Share of the 606 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
On the 511 final texts where more than half of Renew members casting a vote went one way, and Barry Andrews also voted. Groups are not bound to vote together: a Member's mandate is personal and exercised freely, so neither figure is a measure of performance.

Unlinked but matchable
57 counterpart entries in Barry Andrews's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “MSF” - likely Médecins Sans Frontières International (5 counterpart entries)
- “Anera” - likely American Near East Refugee Aid (2 counterpart entries)
- “Christian Aid Ireland” - likely Christian Aid Ireland (2 counterpart entries)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 9 of the 57 entries; the other 48 are not listed.
Matching is automated and can be wrong - see how matching works. Linking the register entry is the fix, and it is the MEP office's to make.
