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.

The Minister will have a chance to come back in. There are four speakers with two minutes being shared between them, so each Deputy will have roughly 30 seconds. I call Deputy Mac Lochlainn.
The Select Committee on Justice has completed its consideration of the Perjury and Related Offences Bill 2018 and has made amendments thereto.
I will now take Leaders' Questions under Standing Order 36. Again, I ask Members for their co-operation in relation to the time limits.
I had not been looking at the clock so the Deputy has benefited
The Deputy is over her time.
There is a list of 20 Deputies. I am not sure we will get through them all but I ask Deputies to comply with the time and we will do our best.
I thank the Tánaiste. We are over time.
I thank the Deputy. We are over time.
I remind Members that if they go over their time, their colleagues will not get in. The Tánaiste has one minute to respond.
It is not a point of-----
It is not a point of order. Deputy Ward is attempting to clarify something. We will have to come back to it. In the meantime, Deputy Higgins is on the list, so I am calling her.
We are dealing with Questions on Promised Legislation.
I had intended to use some flexibility but I will not. I will stop on the dot in a little while. There is a procedure. We wanted to avoid this and make sure that everybody got in. I have one minute and 33 seconds left and I am sticking rigidly to the time.
That completes Questions on Promised Legislation. If Deputies complied, everybody would get in. Unfortunately, a number of Deputies have not got in. Deputies should take it up in the relevant forum.
Is the Bill opposed?
As this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Is the Deputy sharing his time?
Is a copy of the Minister's speech available?
Deputy, please.
Deputy, please. We will not point fingers.
