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.

Like the Tánaiste and all other Members, I did not know about the death of Mervyn Taylor. I extend my sympathy to his family, his extended family and all of his friends. I am sure the Ceann Comhairle will also speak on this.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputies Brian Stanley and Barry Cowen - to discuss the situation with the National Ambulance Service and the situation in counties Laois and Offaly; (2) Deputy Cian O'Callaghan - to discuss conditions in Gaelcholáiste Reachrann secondary school, Donaghmede, Dublin; (3) Deputies Rose Conway-Walsh and Dara Calleary - to discuss the renaming of Ballycroy Na…
We will move on but we are a few minutes ahead of schedule so I do not want to take Members by surprise. The first Topical Issue is in the name of Deputy Stanley. It is in the name of Deputy Cowen as well, who is not here. We are a little bit ahead of time so I will take a few minutes.

The Deputy’s blatant ignoring of the Chair is not acceptable. He referred to personal vendettas. I leave him to reflect on that type of language. The next speaker is Deputy Mythen.
I thank the Deputy for his brevity.
The final matter is in the names of Deputies Jennifer Whitmore and John Brady, and it is to discuss the closure of an outdoor recreational business due to increasing insurance costs.
The Deputy is over time.
