No, the Deputy may not.
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.

Is there a copy of the Minister of State’s response?
We still have three Topical Issues left. With everyone's help, we might gain a minute or two, because we have to stop at 10 a.m. I will ask everyone for a little help.
There are a lot of questions.
Fáiltím roimh an deis a bheith páirteach sa díospóireacht seo. Tá sé thar a bheith casta. Tá sé deacair na téarmaí, agus níos mó ná sin, na hábhair a thuiscint. Tá gá le bheith i d'fhealsamh i ndáiríre. I welcome the opportunity to take part in this debate. It is quite difficult to get one's head around all of the medical concepts, what is possible and what is not possible.

I want to return to the national maternity hospital. I also want to ask that it goes down on the agenda for a debate. This is too important to be left to secret deals behind closed doors. It is too important to us as women. It is too important symbolically and in reality that we have a public maternity hospital on a public site, owned by the State. When my colleague, Deputy Joan Collins, raised it, as did all the other Deputies on this side of the House, the Taoiseach said he was open to putting it on the agenda bu…
