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.

-----to honour one woman, let us do it in a different way. Let us ask how, despite all of those good people, the system of utter cruelty still persisted.
I thank the Tánaiste.
The Deputy is way over time.
A Theachta, ní mór dúinn a bheith féaráilte do gach duine. Mar sin, cloí leis an srian ama más é do thoil é.
Almost four minutes have been taken up with the first question. This is not acceptable. I am moving on. There is a minute for each Deputy. If questions can be posed and answered, that would be helpful.
The Deputy is over time.
I thank the Tánaiste.
I thank the Deputy.
We are over time. I thank the Tánaiste.
We are way over time.
I ask for the Tánaiste's co-operation. I know it is difficult, but a number of Deputies are waiting to get in, so I urge Members to be brief.
I thank the Tánaiste.
Tá mé ag bogadh ar aghaidh. I am going back to yesterday's list. The second name on that list is Deputy O'Donnell.
I thank the Deputy.
Deputy Fitzpatrick can come in on this topic.
The Deputy can speak on the same topic.
I cannot hear when Deputies are shouting from the back. What Deputy Fitzpatrick said does not relate to the question. He is further down the list. I call on the Tánaiste to respond.
The question has been put and answered.
Could we have a question?
