Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
I am now moving on to the Independents. I call Deputy Joan Collins.
Catherine Connolly
Rhetoric & votes →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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Before we move to Questions on Promised Legislation, I took the unusual step of standing up on my first time in the Chair on the return. I do not wish to repeat that. I have asked a Deputy to consider that he was completely out of order and I would ask that this does not happen again. I do not wish to stand up. The Deputy had the floor and he was tabling his questions. I will not tolerate baiting across the floor during Leaders’ Questions or at any time. I am going to move on.

If the Deputy continues, he is eating into other people's time. I am not personalising. There is up to one minute so that each Deputy can get in.

Fáiltím roimh an deis páirt a ghlacadh sa díospóireacht seo. Ceapaim go bhfuil an Bille seo thar a bheith tábhachtach; fíorthábhachtach i ndáiríre. Leagfaidh sé amach an fhís don todhchaí agus an chaoi a rachaimid i ngleic leis na dúshláin atá os ár gcomhair ó thaobh athrú aeráide agus athrú bitheolaíochta. Tuigim an méid oibre atá taobh thiar den Bhille seo ach, faraor, ní mór dom a rá, cé nach maith liom a bheith diúltach, go bhfuil mé buartha. Tá 20 nóiméad agam agus déanfaidh mé mo dhícheall leagan amach cén fá…
