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 Murnane O'Connor missed her slot but as the next slot is a Government one and there are no other Government speakers present, she can speak in this seven-minute slot. For any other Deputies watching, I will be moving on to the Minister to conclude if no other speakers show up.
I thank Sinn Féin for tabling the motion and the Minister of State for being here. We want to bring people on board. In fact, people are ahead of us in respect of climate action and climate change. We are not showing the vision or the practical steps that are necessary. We have succeeded in dividing and conquering. We have encouraged climate deniers, which I will have no part of. This is a positive motion. It sets out facts and calls on the Government to do various things. The targets that have been set bear no res…
We are over time.
We are over time and we are eating into the time for questions.
We are over time.
I know it is impossible to answer all of this in one minute. Additional speakers come in and it still has to be answered in one minute.
I think the Deputy was in-----

I apologise if I did.
Several Deputies are not here so we move to an Teachta Cairns.
I am leaving the next Priority Question for the moment and moving on to Ceisteanna Eile.
Somebody has to notify the office. I have just checked and there is no notification. I ask the Deputy to double-check what has happened. I will leave it open. If notification has not been given, I cannot do anything.
I will leave it with the Deputy to check. Perhaps there has been a misunderstanding. The Deputy should check with his office.
He can certainly come in on it. We will check in regard to Deputy Catherine Murphy’s question.
Go raibh maith agat, a Theachta.
Was it taken?
It was grouped. The Deputy should have come in at that time.
Actually, the Deputy is down on the list. I am sorry about that.
My instructions were that Deputy O'Reilly was down for this question and that it was grouped. I should have pointed that out to the Deputy.
I said I was aware you were taking the question but I did not see the grouping. Anyway, we will let you go ahead.
