Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Cynthia Ní Mhurchú held the seat, 537 of them the final vote on a text.

Unlinked but matchable

39 counterpart entrys in Cynthia Ní Mhurchú's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
