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.

-----what the Israeli army or the Government are doing.
That is talking out of six sides-----
I did listen. You have not condemned the actions of Israel or its army.
Let me quote to her in the time I have. Thirty-six UN experts, on 16 November, raised the alarm about the risk of genocide. Professor William Schabas, who is a professor of international law, also raised what was happening in terms of genocide. Going back, Amnesty International told the Government that Israel is operating an apartheid system, and nobody has come back in relation to the report. Human Rights Watch has repeatedly told the Government what is happening there. I am outlining to the Minister what is happe…
The shaking of the heads tells its own story when the Government cannot listen to facts.
I am sticking to facts. Israel cannot wait to go back on the pretence of getting rid of Hamas. What it is really doing is destroying Palestine and the Palestinian people while you nod and shake your heads in relation to it.
It is time to stand together and make words mean something. Stop the slaughter and have a ceasefire that allows for a comprehensive peace plan. That is the very least this neutral country should be doing.
Going too far? It is international law on genocide.
It is for us to listen to people who are telling us.
There is no further discussion on that, but I will let-----
Yes.
There are quite a lot of amendments. There is no more discussion on any in this group, as they have all been discussed.
We are dealing with amendments Nos. 7 to 16, inclusive. That is going to conclude before we move on to Fifth Stage. All the discussions on Fifth Stage are general. I do not mind if the Minister of State comes in at this point.
The Bill, which is considered to be a Dáil Bill in accordance with Article 20.2.1° of the Constitution, will be sent to the Seanad.
The Select Committee on Social Protection, Community and Rural Development and the Islands has completed its consideration of the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023, and has made amendments thereto.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding neutrality. On Tuesday, 28 November 2023, on the question, "That the amendment to the amendment be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion on horse and greyhound funding. On Wednesday, 29 November 2023, on the question, "That the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
It has been reported in the Galway media that the Galway Harbour Company is about to complete a deal with the Land Development Agency. This is cause for serious concern to me because of what is proposed. The subject of the transfer is six acres. I am not sure at what price that public land, held by the harbour company in trust for the people of Galway, is being transferred to the Land Development Agency. Equally of great concern to me is the headlines that on this public land we will have premium housing as opposed…
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
