On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 105 of 752 decisive votes (4 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

The Taoiseach also said that the banks were not bailed out. His roaring down the phone and threats in here do no bother me. I will let the public decide who they believe. I think we already know. The Taoiseach does not seem to be getting that this is Groundhog Day for this country. People around the country are very worried. The Taoiseach is consistent in his inconsistency. Will the Taoiseach consider giving antigen tests to everyone until 1 January? That is a reasonable request. Will the Taoiseach please put it ou…
Populist?
The teachers.
Keep the schools open.
No, you cool it.
We can do both.

I have a genuine question relating to boosters for the over 60s, specifically, those aged 60 to 69. When they got the AstraZeneca vaccine, there was a delay whereby younger cohorts were fully vaccinated long in advance of the majority of those aged 60 to 69.

I have no issue with NIAC. That is not the issue.
I am asking the Taoiseach to ask NIAC to look at the issue regularly. That is all.
The Taoiseach will announce new measures this evening with regard to fighting Covid-19. It seems, unfortunately, that we are going in a certain direction. I have a question about schools, about which I have a deep concern. The Taoiseach and I share the view that schools and early years education are a top priority. Owenabue school in the Taoiseach's constituency has told many of the parents of its children not to send the children to the school because it does not have enough teachers.
