Mr Cathal Mallaghan

Sinn Féin · Member of Parliament for Mid Ulster · in the Commons since 2024-07-04

The Sinn Féin contests seats only in Northern Ireland, so this seat is a Northern Ireland one — a fact of the party, not a guess from the constituency name. Members of the Great Britain–wide parties carry no such note, because their seat’s nation is not derivable without a constituency lookup the source does not provide.

Mr Cathal Mallaghan voted in 0 of the last 25 Commons divisions — Parliament’s term for a recorded vote, so called because members divide into two lobbies to be counted — (2026-06-24 to 2026-09-04). This measures a recent window, not a career — and a missed division is not necessarily an absence: abstention is unrecorded by design, and pairing and proxy arrangements mean members can be legitimately absent from the lists. The number is the record; the interpretation needs those caveats. And here a stronger caveat applies: Sinn Féin MPs do not take their seats or vote in the Commons, the party's long-standing abstentionist policy — a zero here reflects that policy, not truancy.

No recorded vote in the latest divisions window. Abstention, pairing or proxy arrangements can all produce an empty list — the record shows only recorded Ayes and Noes.
