Gerry Adams (SF) and Martin McGuinness (SF) have not taken their seats. Gerry Adams was a Member of the 1987-1992 Parliament, but did not take his seat, therefore did not make a Maiden Speech at that time.

The first Maiden Speech by the 1997 intake was by Norman Baker on 14.5.97.

The last Maiden Speech by the 1997 intake was by Fiona Jones on 22.1.98.
