I will leave it to the Minister of State as to whether he wants to respond.
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.

We must move on.
None of the Deputies who tabled subsequent questions up to Question No. 83 is present.
The next one is Question No. 88 from Deputy Máiread Farrell.
We are almost out of time. Deputy Carthy will not have the full period of allocated time for the final question.
We are way over time.
We are over time.
Táimid thar am. Tá mé ag bogadh ar aghaidh.
We have six speakers, so I ask them to co-operate with the time limits.
I apologise for interrupting but the Minister of State will have an opportunity to conclude. We have gone way over time.
There is an overall time limit for this group of questions and I am told we are out of time. The Minister of State could take one minute. I am sorry about that. There is an overall time limit and given the number of speakers, we have gone way over time on this issue.
I will allow the Minister of State to speak but it is by way of exception because we have gone way over time.
We are way over time. We have given it good time.
We are running out of time. We have time to squeeze in one more question but it will not have the full time.
The Deputy has one minute. He will not get back in again.
Deputy Grealish is taking No. 80.
Is there a copy of the Minister of State's speech available?
I do not think it is available at the moment.
I do not know that it is.
I call Deputy Ó Broin. I am not sure how he is sharing his time. I have a list of names in front of me.
