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.

I am moving on to the Labour Party but, with the House's agreement, I will go back to the Regional Group after that.
I thank the Taoiseach, but we are over time.
Deputy, we are over time.
If the Deputy goes over time, it means there is less time for his colleagues. It is difficult for me to keep interrupting. Deputies have up to one minute.
You are over time.
You will not.
Thank you, Deputy.
The Taoiseach to respond.
We are eating into the time.
I am not going to continue with this.
I will take as many speakers as I can in the remaining six minutes. I am drawing a line there.
We are not having an interaction. I call Deputy Danny Healy-Rae.
Deputy Healy-Rae's time is up. Members should speak through the Chair.
Through the Chair, please.
Resume your seat, Deputy.
There are 32 seconds left now. It is not possible to take any further questions.
Three Deputies are left because other Members went over time. It is a connected system. Not every Deputy can speak if someone goes over time because there is no time left. I need the co-operation of the Taoiseach and Members with everyone communicating through the Chair. By way of exception, I will allow the three Members who patiently waited and did not add to this 30 seconds, with the Taoiseach then to respond. This is the last time I will allow this if Members do not co-operate.
Deputy Bruton has literally 30 seconds.
I thank the Deputy. I will accept those last four questions and the Taoiseach will respond. Deputy Paul Murphy used a former judge's name and made allegations. I remind him to be careful in that regard and regarding the separation of powers.
