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 time is running.
Deputies, please.
Taoiseach.
Taoiseach, the time is running in relation to the issue. I am going to have to cut you off now and the issue has not been answered.
Táimid thar am. We are out of time.
The Taoiseach to respond.
We are over time.
I welcome the opportunity to contribute on this motion. I thank Sinn Féin for setting out crystal clearly the unsustainability of energy bills, which continue to rise, and the Government's failure to deal adequately with the issue. I welcome that approximately €12 billion has been paid out over the past year under a number of schemes, but they were all one-off, piecemeal schemes with no overall policy setting out where we were going. We have faced crisis after crisis. We started when we declared a climate emergency…
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh - to discuss the problem of rodents infesting neighbouring homes where the private residence from which the issue stems is owned by someone with underlying mental issues or is in poverty.

Deputy Carthy has the next question but we are literally out of time. There is a minute and a half left. Does the Deputy want 30 seconds to put his question?
We are dealing with Question No. 13.
I raised this matter by way of a question to the Minister for Justice, Deputy Simon Harris, last week, and I am raising it again today. I will explain why. In the context of Part 4 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017, there is a statutory obligation to carry out a review. This was to be carried out within three years of the Act becoming operational in 2020. It is now more than three years later. The Minister for Justice gave some explanation which worried me, and I reflected on it. He said one of the maj…
Notwithstanding that, you managed to mention them all. I call Deputy Boyd Barrett.
