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 the Minister. I call Deputy Cairns.
Deputy Cairns should not interrupt. She is using up time. Please allow the Minister to reply.
I thank the Minister. I am moving on.
I ask the Deputy to sit down. The time for the question is over.
That is not a point of order.
That is not a point of order. There can be no more response to that.
I call Deputy Martin Browne.
I am not going to waste time. I have a list before me. Deputy Martin Browne is second on the list. That is all I can do. If Deputy Browne wants to give his space to Deputy McNamara, then so be it.
Deputy McNamara is wasting time.
I am not sure if there has been a mistake somewhere.
Deputy McNamara is wasting time. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae is at the top of the list before me. He is not here. Deputy Martin Browne is next and I call him.
I ask Deputy McNamara to resume his seat.
I call Deputy Martin Browne.
I remind Deputies that we are on section 2 of the Bill and we are dealing with a grouping of several amendments. There are ten speakers offering as things stand, so I appeal to Members to be conscious of time.
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 Marc Ó Cathasaigh - Ireland’s progress in implementing the sustainable development goals across Departments; (2) Deputy Chris Andrews - continued Covid restrictions on outdoor sports such as golf and athletics; (3) Deputy Willie O'Dea - proposals to increase the wage subsidy scheme rate in line with increases in the minimum wage over the past decad…
I wish to inform the House that there are still five Members indicating at this stage. Deputy McNamara is next.
The guillotine comes down at 4.30 p.m.
We are dealing with amendment No. 1 and amendments Nos. 31 to 42.
I call Deputy O'Rourke.
