Amendments Nos. 1 and 2 have been ruled out of order as they impose a charge on the Exchequer. We move now to amendment No. 3. I am only highlighting to the House where we are at the moment. Two amendments have been ruled out of order.
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.

They were ruled out of order because they would have imposed a charge on the Exchequer. We are going to move to amendment No. 3 in the name of Deputy Pearse Doherty, but I first ask the Minister now to move the resolution.
In the interests of clarity and to avoid confusion, Financial Resolution Nos. 1 and 2 are being taken together.
The Chief Whip put a proposal in that regard and it was decided. Amendment Nos. 3 to 6, inclusive, are being discussed together. I have a list of names here after the proposer. I call Deputy Carthy.
Six Members have indicated that they want to speak: Deputies Mattie McGrath, Tóibín, Danny Healy Rae, O'Rourke, Nash-----
No, because we are on amendment No. 3, which has been moved. People indicated for that.
I have taken the list at this point. We now have 33 minutes left so I would ask speakers to help us here a little bit. In fairness, Deputy Nash has-----
No, I am not going to waste any more time. Deputy Nash, you did not indicate, I am afraid.
You indicated after the other Deputies. I would have taken it if I had seen it but the other Deputies were first in off the block in relation to addressing the first amendment. I ask for the co-operation of the Deputies in this matter.
I call Deputy Danny Healy-Rae and I ask for everyone's co-operation.
There are six speakers left so I still ask for Deputies' co-operation. The next speaker is Deputy O'Rourke, followed by Deputies Nash and Michael Collins.
There are four speakers remaining, and the Minister must come in. There are only ten minutes. I cannot insist that the debate stops but I ask for co-operation. I call Deputy Creed.
I thank the Deputy for his co-operation. I call Deputy Richard O'Donoghue and ask him to be brief.
Go raibh maith agat.
Deputy I ask-----
Deputy, I ask for your co-operation.
I know-----
I am conscious of time. We have two and a half minutes-----
We have two minutes left.
Please.
