That concludes the debate. We have noted Deputy Barry's dissension.
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 Deputy. I am not sure where that fitted into the Bill. It has taken me three and a half minutes to figure out it did not so perhaps the fault is mine. I call Deputy Tully.
I am moving through slots here but there are no speakers present. Perhaps people have been caught unawares because we are moving more quickly than was expected.
I am moving on to the Regional Group.
I call Deputy Thomas Pringle. I will have to interrupt the Deputy shortly to adjourn the debate.
As it is 6 p.m., I am obliged to stop the debate.
We are over time.
The Tánaiste is over time.
I am moving on to the next speaker.
Aside from the leaders, 20 Deputies have indicated. Some are not in the room. With co-operation and sticking to the time limits, we will get through it.
We are over time. I call Deputy Whitmore.
I thank Deputies for their co-operation. I will move on to the Ceann Comhairle's list from yesterday, beginning with Deputy Mythen.
I will go through the list of names because I do not believe Deputies Bruton, Michael Healy-Rae and Tóibín are in the Chamber. I call Deputy Kerrane.
From the Rural Independent Group, Deputies Michael Collins and Mattie McGrath are sharing.
I am sorry there is no time for a response. The Minister will have to give a written-----
Could I finish a sentence to the Minister?
There is a set time here. It is not the Minister's fault. I suggest that the Minister gives a written response. Written before me is that Sinn Féin has ten minutes in total for questions and answers. That time is now up.
We will come to that when the Deputy's party slot comes or the Deputy can give up that slot now.
I am not negotiating time with the Deputy. There is a Business Committee. Go back to the Business Committee. The Deputy's next colleague speaking may want to do it.
I am moving on to the Rialtas.
