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.

The Select Committee on Education, Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science has completed its consideration of the Construction Safety Licensing Bill 2023 and has made amendments thereto.
I am going back to the Government now, and in the interest of people knowing, Deputy Leddin is next, followed by Deputy Murnane O'Connor. They have two 11-minute slots, and they are followed by Deputy Joan Collins.
You are, but it is up to yourselves now. You seem to have got yourselves an 11-minute slot each.
I thank my colleague for sharing his time with me. I had not intended to speak on this, but when the Whip, the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, read out the amendments, it alerted me to the Lough Corrib Navigation Trustees. For my sins I spent ten years of my life on that august body, which theoretically did a brilliant job. It was set up with legislation in the middle of the 19th century, and under its remit come the Claddagh Basin, the Eglinton Canal and the navigation markers on the Corrib. The trustees do th…
The time permitted for this debate having expired, I am required to put the following question in accordance with an order of the Dáil of 27 June 2023: "That Seanad amendments not disposed of are hereby agreed to in committee and agreement to the amendments is accordingly reported to the House."
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding the Offences against the State (Amendment) Act 1998. On Tuesday, 27 June, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion 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 regarding the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Act 2009. On Tuesday, 27 June, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
Is the motion agreed to?
Will the Deputies claiming a division please rise?
As fewer than ten Members have risen I declare the question carried. In accordance with Standing Order 82 the names of the Deputies dissenting will be recorded in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Dáil.
I must now deal with a postponed division on the motion regarding instruction to committee on the Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023. On the question, "That the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and that division must now be taken.
Just on a point of correction, Deputy Doherty, I do not think the Committee of Public Accounts sat in January 2020. You might just check the record on that because the Dáil had been dissolved. Just be careful in relation to dates.
I thank the Deputy and call the Taoiseach to conclude.
Is it agreed? It is not agreed.
This is the Order of Business.
Deputy Bacik, it is the Order of Business. I call Deputy O'Callaghan.
Deputy, it is the Order of Business.
Order, please. I have allowed a certain leniency on this because I realise the importance of the issue. We have to be careful about making allegations.
I understand that the former director general resigned.
Let us be careful in our use of language. Deputy Doherty wishes to come in on the Order of Business.
