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.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Deputy McNamara was out of time before I came in. I think the Ceann Comhairle just allowed in the Minister.
All I can do is enforce the time limit. I did not hear the question the Deputy put.
The next speaker is Deputy Boyd Barrett for Solidarity-People Before Profit. It is a 20-minute slot but the debate will have to be adjourned at 6 p.m.
I am sorry to interrupt-----
Tá mé ag bogadh ar aghaidh. The next speaker is Deputy Catherine Murphy for the Social Democrats.
Again, I ask everyone to co-operate on time.
I thank the Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy.
We are out of time.
I am moving on to a long list of speakers. Some of the Deputies on the list are not present. I call Deputy Guirke.
Go raibh maith agat, a Theachta.
Deputy, thank you. I ask for co-operation so that we can get everybody in.
Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy.
Deputy, thank you.
We are over time. Please, Deputy. Thank you. I am giving up at this point. A minute is a minute and the Deputy's colleagues are all waiting to get in.
Does Deputy Michael Collins wish to speak on the same issue?
The Minister has been left 20 seconds. I can move to the next speaker if he likes.
