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.

Thank you, Deputy. We are over time now. My lapse is over.
We are moving on to the next speaker.

I have to move on to the Rural Independent Group. I call Deputy Michael Collins. Deputies should allow him to speak uninterrupted.
We are over the allotted time.
We are over the time.
The next item is the least contentious. As Deputies know, the House has agreed that for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency, the rapporteur's report will not be read out. There is just one question to be put. Are the proposed arrangements for the week's business agreed to?
On the Order of Business, I call Deputy Pringle.
I am moving on. Are the proposed arrangements-----
The question is on the Order of Business.
The Deputy has had a chance, as has everyone. The Taoiseach has responded.
I am now-----
There is the Deputy's answer. We are moving on.
Can we do this through the Chair because we are going to try to keep to the time?
Let the Taoiseach respond, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy. Please observe the time.
Let the Taoiseach respond. You are over time.
I ask the Deputy to focus on promised legislation.
I ask the Deputy to ask the question at this point.
