On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 88 of 640 decisive votes (6 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.

No, but in the middle of the debate the Leas-Cheann Comhairle or the officials will not be able to reflect on it. I was going to make the case now but I will do as the Leas-Cheann Comhairle asks.
Do we have a grouping list?
They are not online. I did not see them. Will the Leas-Cheann Comhairle read the grouping again?
The Minister is very much downplaying what is a fundamental change in law. It is a matter of constitutional law, as determined by the Supreme Court. I make the general point that it is unfortunate that such a change would be brought in as a Committee Stage amendment without proper pre-legislative scrutiny. A number of external bodies, including the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, have significant views to express on this.

Amendment No. 1 to the Minister's amendment No. 3.
Right.
I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach.
As I said, this is a hotchpotch of a Bill because it deals with everything from broadcasting, to the Department of public expenditure with regard to pensions, to revocation of citizenship under the 1956 Act. Some things are proper to an end-of-term miscellaneous provisions discussion, things that we all agree should be done, and there will not be any suitable vehicle coming through. However, in truth, dealing with a Supreme Court decision - as Deputy Pringle has rightly said - that occurred in October 2020 by way o…
I did not say 2,000. I said two dozen.
It is not a Judiciary decision.
They would be in a minority of one in three.
The Minister does not know who her successor will appoint.
