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.

We have just over six minutes left. I have a choice. Question Nos. 21 to 31, inclusive, are grouped but Members will not have a chance to contribute. There is only time for the Taoiseach to outline his answer. Is that agreed?
There is no time left for Members to contribute. In the time that is left, I can allow the Taoiseach to do so, if we all agree.
That is-----
Is that the agreement of the House?
To be clear, no speaker is going to get in. The time that is left will be taken by the Taoiseach in his reply. Are we in agreement that it will go into tomorrow so that everybody can get in?
Go raibh maith agat.
Ar ais go dtí an Ríaltas, there are six or seven speakers in this slot of 11 minutes. The Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, has two minutes.
I warn the Minister of State that her time is running out.
There is no discussion.

That is okay. I am moving on. I call Deputy Feighan.

I thank Deputy Ó Broin for bringing forward the motion. One TD said earlier that they could not recall the last time a Minister or Minister of State sat through a full debate. I cannot recall when a member of the Government last came to the House and used Government time to deal with the housing crisis, which would be very helpful in the context of it telling us how it is tackling the housing crisis. I do not know how many times the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, has sat opposite me and I have been saying practi…

Tagraím do chóras páirceáil agus taistil i nGaillimh. Tá mé ag iarraidh soiléiriú a fháil ó thaobh aon dul chun cinn atá déanta, ag cur san áireamh gur chuir na comhairleoirí, mé féin san áireamh, é isteach mar chuspóir beagnach 20 bliain ó shin. I am looking for an update on the status of the roll-out of park and ride in Galway - east and west - bearing in mind that almost 20 years ago, the councillors did their job and put it in as one of the specific objectives in the development plan.
