The Taoiseach, without interruption.
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.

Mar is eol daoibh, tá Vicky Phelan imithe ar shlí na fírinne ach tá sí láidir beo inár gcuimhní inniu agus i gcuimhní mhuintir na tíre. Ní mór dúinn meas agus ómós a thaispeáint do na focail uaithi, focail a chur in iúl nach raibh moladh á lorg aici ná gealltanais bhréaga. Is é an rud a bhí ag teastáil uaithi ná gníomh de réir ár mbriathar. Today we remember Vicky Phelan, who has passed away, and all the other women who have lost their lives as a result of the failures and the mistakes made in the cervical screenin…
Anois, mar chomhartha ómóis do Vicky Phelan, seasfaimid inár dtost ar feadh soicind. Let us stand in respect for and memory of Vicky Phelan.
I thank the Deputy. We are over time.
I remind the Deputy he has raised two issues under Leaders' Questions.
