On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 22 of 449 decisive votes (2 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.

Does Deputy Sherlock have a point of order?
The Deputy is welcome to come in and contribute on the amendment.
The Deputy certainly can.
If the Minister of State waits a moment, I will let him in. Does anybody else want to come in at this point? No.
How stands the amendment?
The amendment we are dealing with, which is amendment No. 72.
Amendment No. 78 has already been discussed with amendment No. 19. How stands that amendment?
Amendments Nos. 80, 81 and 83, in the name of Deputy McNamara, are physical alternatives. We will take amendment No. 80 first. It cannot proceed because amendment No. 79 has-----
This is amendment No. 79.
Yes, the Deputy is right.
Amendments Nos. 80, 81 and 83 are in Deputy McNamara's name, and they are physical alternatives to amendment No. 79.
I am saying they are physical alternatives.
I am saying they are as Chair, so that is where it rests at the moment.
Deputy, I am not-----
The Deputy is not. He is not making a point of order.
The Deputy did not ask to make a point of order.
Oh dear.
The Deputy has made the point and I am sticking to my ruling. I checked this earlier on. Amendments Nos. 80, 81 and 83 are physical alternatives to amendment No. 79, so they cannot be moved.
I will move on to amendment No. 84 in the name of the Minister of State, which arises out of Committee proceedings. In the interest of clarity, amendments Nos. 84 to 87, inclusive, are related. Amendments Nos. 85 to 87, inclusive, are physical alternatives to amendment No. 84, so amendments Nos. 84 to 87, inclusive, will be discussed together.
