Deputy, please. I have no choice but to enforce the rules.
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.

Deputy, please. I have no choice but to enforce the rules.
I have gone way over with you. Please. There are four more contributors and there is a whole list to be done before 4 o'clock. I call Deputy Bacik.
Deputy please.
Deputy please.
It is most unacceptable from you. It is absolutely unacceptable. I have gone way over the time. Just a tiny bit of-----
I am not having a discussion with you. I am trying desperately to be fair.
I ask you to take that back.
That is right.
You are still wasting time. I will reflect for a moment. The more this happens, the less time there is available. I ask you all for co-operation. Every Deputy is important and every question he or she raises is important. We have now four minutes and 46 seconds to get the Taoiseach to respond and each Member has to come in.
There are ten contributors, each of whom has up to one minute.
That completes questions to the Taoiseach. Before we conclude, I point out there is a 45-minute slot for these questions. I really do my best in respect of this and I ask for co-operation generally in that regard. There is flexibility, but if there are ten speakers in a 45-minute slot, it is practically impossible. If there are difficulties, take them to the Business Committee.
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 Kathleen Funchion - to discuss the additional funding promised to the nine care homes in Carlow and Kilkenny Deputies Chris Andrews, Eoin Ó Broin - to discuss the possible transferring over of the 20% NAMA stake of the Poolbeg site to Dublin City Council Deputy Louise O'Reilly - to discuss staffing levels for early intervention teams in north county Du…
I presume the language was in inverted commas.
Go raibh maith agat, an Teachta Crowe.
I thank the Deputy.
Please, Deputy Crowe.
Deputy Crowe, please.
I thank the Deputy.
We have an apology. We are going to move on to the Labour Party. I call Deputy Sherlock.
Baineann mo cheist le Gaillimh agus an coláiste nua breisoideachais atá beartaithe agus a bhéas lonnaithe taobh thiar den choláiste ag Móinín na gCiseach. I ask for further clarification on the very welcome news that there will be a further education campus in Galway city at the back of Moneenageisha on the Tuam Road. Could the Minister give me an update on the preliminary business case?
