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 thank Deputy Andrews for staying within the time.
I have three speakers left. With their permission I will take the three of them and if the Tánaiste is happy to do it, he can reply to them together. There is not enough time to let everybody in. Deputy O'Rourke will get in for a few seconds but there will be no reply. I ask for the co-operation of Deputies O'Rourke, Boyd Barrett and Munster. I will give each Deputy 30 seconds to put their question if they are in agreement with that. Agreed.
I thank the Deputy for his brevity.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

The Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach has completed its consideration of the Public Service Pay Bill 2020 and has made amendments thereto.
I wish to alert Deputies watching on the screens that the debate is moving very quickly, in case they want to take part. The first round will be over very soon and I will then move on. I know there was a Deputy waiting to speak.
I do not think the Deputy should be asking the Chair's permission because I am going to say we will see what it is.
The Deputy has raised the issue and in fairness to the Tánaiste it is up to him if he wants to deal with it in his reply. We have finished the first round, there are no more speakers for that or the second round, so we are at the conclusion of the debate and the Tánaiste has the right to reply.
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) Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh — to discuss the Government decision to wind up the Digital Hub Development Agency in the Liberties; (2) Deputy Ciarán Cannon — to discuss the establishment of a dedicated portal for submission of video evidence of dangerous incidents of close passing of cyclists; (3) Deputy Sean Sherlock — to discuss the urgent need to tackle dri…
Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach Gníomhach agus níl mé cinnte an bhfuil an freagra ag an Aire i mBéarla nó i nGaeilge agus b’fhéidir go mbeimid in ann cóip de sin a fháil. Leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh i nGaeilge ar dtús ar aon nós. Baineann an ní Ábhar Tráthúil seo, mar a dúirt an Cathaoirleach Gníomhach, le Ros an Mhíl agus tá gá práinneach le soiléireacht ó thaobh buiséid de ionas go mbeimid in ann dul chun cinn na forbartha seo a fheiceáil. Tá cúlra anseo agus níl a fhios agam an bhfuil na fíricí agus an cúlra…
I thank the Minister, but I received the exact same answer on 29 June 2020. I am sorry, but I have learned nothing extra beyond the fact that there was a final report in 2020. I do not know the date because I have not been given a copy of the Minister's reply. Níl sé agam i mBéarla nó i nGaeilge. Can I get all of the reports that the Minister referred to since that date? Will he meet the Deputies from the area, which would be good manners in any event? Of more importance than all of that is the development in the a…
Will the Minister provide copies of the reports?
I thank the Minister of State.
The Minister of State will get a chance to come back in.
I must interrupt the Minister of State.
I call Deputy Louise O’Reilly. A number of Sinn Féin speakers are sharing time.
