Rolling update - As of 4th October, 2026, Paul "has spoken in 209 committee discussions and Dáil debates in the last year — well above average among TDs", according to kildarestreet.com analysis website.
This "well above average" has been consistent since re-election in October 2024, and referenced in December 2025 and July 2026, but we are doing snapshots from now on to show a consistent performance rather than ramping up closer to the next general election. This is just one performance indicator, but it shows he takes his time in the Dáil seriously. Outside of Leinster House, he does regular café clinics and also calls directly to thousands of homes each year. Hopefully the balance has been struck between keeping in touch locally and being active nationally.
