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.

Táim chun filleadh ar ábhar Gaza agus ar an ár atá ar siúl faoi láthair, ár a thosaigh ar an lá seo mí ó shin agus ár a chuir Hamas tús leis nuair a maraíodh 1,400 duine. Tá sé sin cáinte go láidir agam ach tá Iosrael anois tar éis leanúint ar aghaidh leis an ár atá á dhéanamh aige ar feadh míosa. Tá sé ráite ag António Guterres gurb ionann Gaza agus reilig do ghasúir. Tá páiste beag, buachaill nó cailín, ag fáil bás chuile deich nóiméad. Dar le Guterres, is géarchéim dhaonnúil é an tromluí atá ag tarlú i nGaza ach…
While I praise the Taoiseach for his initiative and leadership, we stood idly by for a long time in relation to Israel and we are complicit in that.

When the refugee camp in Jenin was attacked, we did …

Baineann mo cheist leis sin agus leis an gcumarsáid nach bhfuil ag tarlú ó thaobh na ndaoine ar an talamh atá taobh thiar den staidéar féidearthachta sin. In the few seconds I have left, there was a review of transport in Galway. Part of that review is a feasibility study for l…
We are out of time but there are four speakers left. I will take them one after another.
Deputy, we are over time.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
The Taoiseach is next.
I did not have the Deputy on my list but he can go ahead.
I thank the Deputy. We are way over time.
Deputy, we are way over time.
There are six speakers, maybe seven. Each has up to one minute.
I am glad Deputy Ó Murchú related what he said to the motion.
I thank Deputy Howlin. I want to tell Members that this is moving very quickly. Deputy Catherine Murphy is the next speaker, and then I will go back to the Minister of State if there is nobody here.
