Ambivalent Aggregation

Simple.. the table answers the questions This is not about how they voted in the actual referendum,  rather this shows the TDs that voted for or against allowing the Irish people decide on such an important issue at the voting booth.. To vote to stop people from having the chance to vote for something that you deem important is seriously undemocratic - no matter what side of the debate you supported.

Based on the member sitting days report from Jan to end of November 2019. You can get the report here It is in a PDF format - so the data extraction for the below charts was a pain in the ass. The below charts capture what percentage of time a TD attended the Dáil whilst it was in session. what percentage of the attendance claim was for periods of time outside of the Dáil  being in session The data can be read in a number of different ways.. I feel if the TD has a low attendance whilst in session and an above average percentage of attendance when it is not in session - it may be indicative of a work Shy TD ... just clocking in when there is no session in an attempt to get those sweet expenses whilst not clocking in when the Dáil is in session and they  might have to do some work... Am I being cynical.. Also - a few things I noticed about the data whilst messing about with it The Report does not show the total number of sitting days...

Extracted data from the CSO to show the number of students in each year in Primary school from the year 2000

Popped the data into Flourish and see below
