The Minister of State might let me know the timeframe.
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 Minister of State might let me know the timeframe.
I will give this one more minute because we are under time pressure in relation to the rest of the schedule. It is unacceptable. The speech is coming.
The Deputy has made his point, which I endorse. There should be a copy of the speech. We will give the Minister of State a couple of more seconds and hopefully it will be here. It is very important. We must resume because this debate will stop at 10 a.m. and speakers will be deprived of time. The point has been made; the speech should be here. The Minister of State may continue.
There are no concluding remarks, just to clarify the procedure.
Thank you, Deputy.
I am sorry but no. We are over time.
I am really sorry but I am moving on to Deputy Pringle.
The division will be taken immediately prior to Committee Stage. I thank Members for their co-operation. We are back on track with regard to time.

I must now deal with a postponed division on the motion regarding an instruction to committee on the Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022.

In respect of what the Deputy has said, a decision was made by An Bord Pleanála and not An Taisce, in the interests of clarity.
