Go raibh maith agat, a Thánaiste.
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.

We are over time.
I have 16 names from yesterday and an additional seven from today, in addition to the Leaders. I ask for the co-operation of Members in getting through them.
We are over time.
A Thánaiste, más é do thoil é-----
Gabh mo leithscéal, a Thánaiste, but there is no point in having a Cathaoirleach if we do not listen to him or her. We have limited time to get through a maximum of contributors. I call Deputy Kelly, who has one minute. If he can be briefer, so be it.
I thank the Tánaiste and call Deputy Barry of the Solidarity-People Before Profit Party.
I now call the Regional Group.
I call on the Tánaiste to respond and ask the Deputy, please, to allow him do so.
Táimid ag bogadh ar aghaidh go dtí an liosta ginearálta anois agus glaoim ar an Teachta O’Reilly.
I thank Deputy Tóibín, but his time is up. I call the Tánaiste to respond.
I thank the Minister.
I am sorry to cut across the Deputy but there are only three minutes remaining and Deputy Paul Murphy is next.
I beg the Minister's pardon. I know she did.
I cannot actually see him, but I am sure he will come in. Yes, there he is.
We move on to the Rural Independent Group, whose members have six and a half minutes in total. I understand the Deputies want to use that time for questions and answers.
We will let the Chair decide on that matter. I understood that the division of time was two and half minutes, two minutes and two minutes and that is what I am sticking to. Perhaps the Minister might have a chance to respond at the end.
The Minister has just under a minute to reply.
Deputy Ó Broin please allow the Minister to reply.
There is not a point of order. The Deputy has asked a question. I ask the Minister to answer it.
