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.

Anois, ar son na bhfear, ar son na mban, ar son na bpáistí, agus ar son na n-othar atá ag fulaingt laistigh agus lasmuigh den ospidéal, seasfaimid nóiméad inár dtost leo, i dteanga Thír Chonaill, ar feadh bomaite.
Is the Order of Business agreed? Agreed. I call Deputy Cullinane.
Táimid ag bogadh ar aghaidh go dtí an dá rún gan díospóireacht.
Can we have a bit of respect for the Chair?
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta.
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 David Stanton - to discuss deterring or delaying the move from daylight saving time to winter time this year to support energy saving. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor - to discuss whether funding from the Arts Council for a gallery will be extended to its in-house theatre. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan - to discuss the protection of the rights of the child…
We will not use language like that.

I will go back to the Members who were missing. I call Deputy Carey who is putting a question in the name of Deputy Neale Richmond and then I will move to Deputy Colm Burke.
The Minister will get a chance to come back.
The Deputy will get a chance to come back in.
Deputy Colm Burke is asking this question on behalf of Deputy Flanagan.
I will call Deputy Ó Murchú before the Minister of State comes back in.
We have time for two more questions, although I am not sure whether the Minister has the replies to hand.

I do not mean to keep interrupting because I know the importance of these issues but we are going to run out of time for other questions if we do not keep to the limits.
I thank the Minister. We are over time.
I thank the Minister. We are way over time.
That is right.
