Amendment No. 29 has been ruled 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.

Amendment No. 29 has been ruled out of order.
Amendments Nos. 30 and 32 are related and may be discussed together.
The Tánaiste can only move amendment No. 30 but can discuss both.
It is okay.
The time permitted for this debate having expired, I am required to put the following question in accordance with an Order of the Dáil of 17 May: "That the amendments set down by the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, and not disposed of, are hereby made to the Bill; Fourth Stage is hereby completed; and the Bill is hereby passed.”
The Bill will be sent to the Seanad.
I must now deal with a postponed division on the motion on national maternity services. Yesterday, when the question: "That the motion be agreed to", was put, the Ceann Comhairle declared the question rite. A division was claimed and that division must now be taken.
I must now deal with a postponed division on the motion on subsidies for developers. On the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
I thank Sinn Féin once again for giving us the opportunity by tabling this motion. With regard to what Deputy Michael Healy-Rae said, I do not think I want to be God but if I was arrogant enough to go down that road, I would choose to be a goddess, maybe, and do it completely differently. With regard to this matter, words fail me in relation to the hypocrisy. I am on record for praising the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, for her hands-on approach but on this issue, I fundamentally disagree with her. Two weeks ag…
Glaoim ar an Teachta Gannon.

I am just reading what I have in front of me and I have received no notice of substitutions.
I will take Deputy Gannon. Perhaps we can check the order but I had no notice of that. There is no problem if the Deputies have done it but there is nothing before me.
I am going back to the question in the name of Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan. Unfortunately, the fact that Deputy Calleary was substituting for him did not filter up here. I cannot leave the desk so we have double-checked.
I know that. It is no fault on the Deputy, but there is no fault on us either. It did not arrive up here.
Before the Minister responds, two more Deputies wish to speak.
We are over time.
The Deputy will have a chance to come back in. Allow the Minister of State to respond.
We are over time. The Deputy is way over time and is eating into the Minister of State's time. The Minister of State to conclude please.
I remind the Deputy about the rules relating to naming persons in the House. He might wish to reflect on them.
