The Deputy is out of order.
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 Deputy is out of order.
Deputy, I am standing up now. That is the ultimate-----
Please sit down.
Deputy, resume your seat.
Deputy, resume your seat. I ask reluctantly. Resume your seat.
No.
The time is running. The Deputy is out of time and out of order.
Deputy, resume your seat.
Deputy, resume your seat.
I will have to abandon the session if the Deputy does not resume his seat.
The Deputy is ignoring an order of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. It is a very serious-----
Unfortunately for the Deputies waiting to come in, I am going to now put an end to Questions on Policy and Legislation. I am sorry. I am going to move on.
I have made a ruling. I ask Deputy Durkan to resume his seat. This is a really serious matter. I will not go into it again. If the Deputy is refusing to resume his seat, I will put a stop to this session.
Thank you. That is not obvious to me. I am going to repeat generally that matters in the courts cannot be brought up in this manner. It is simply not on and it is not acceptable.
When the Ceann Comhairle or the Leas-Cheann Comhairle makes a ruling, whether Deputies like it or not, that is it.
We have one minute and four seconds left and there are three speakers seeking to contribute. I will allow them 30 seconds each to put their questions and the Taoiseach, with his co-operation, will answer all three together.
Thank you, Deputy. You had 30 seconds.
The Deputy is over time. I am trying to facilitate all Deputies.
Let the Taoiseach respond.
There are several speakers to come in, so each of them will have one minute.
