The time is up.
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.

The time is up.
The Deputy's time is up. I am not addressing anyone in particular but this is not fair to other Deputies. Will the Tánaiste just reply to the question?
Is that agreed? Agreed.
One moment please, Minister. We have run out of time. I know you are still standing, Deputy Gannon, but I am afraid you will not be coming back in. We have run out of time. I am sorry to cut you short, Minister, but that is the set-up. We have gone a little over. I am going to move on to Sinn Féin. Deputy Matt Carthy has five minutes in total.
The Deputy gained a minute or two because of the clock so, unfortunately, the Minister-----
We will move on. For the benefit of the Minister and Deputies, there is a set and agreed format here. I am simply imposing it. That is all I am doing, to be fair to everybody. I am moving on now. The next slot is a six-and-a-half-minute one. It is practically impossible, but that is the way it is. Two Deputies are offering. They may ask questions or make statements or do both, but if they do not leave time for the Minister, she will not be able to answer.
The Deputy has left the Minister with 50 seconds to answer all of those questions.
I reiterate that we are in a difficult situation because we are due to move on to a debate with the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science later. We are under time pressure. I agree that how we are proceeding is not satisfactory but that is what was agreed to, namely, a question-and-answer session. If the Deputies want answers, they must leave enough time for them because, otherwise, they will just be making statements. That is fine too because that is what they are entitled to …
The Minister has two minutes to reply.
There are 20 seconds left for the Minister to comment.
I thank the Minister. I am really sorry. Not enough time was left for her response. That is the nature of things: if time is not left then the question cannot be answered. I understand both sides. That is the way it is. We are going to move on to the Regional Group.
I thank the Minister. I will move on. If Members want answers, they must leave time for them.
The Minister has an impossible task. She has 20 seconds to answer all of those questions.
The Minister will have to write to the Deputy; we have run out of time again. I thank her for her co-operation. I apologise for interrupting but I have to abide by the time limits.
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 Bernard J. Durkan - to discuss providing schoolchildren access to Maynooth Boys' National School via the adjoining Maynooth Post Primary School for safety reasons; (2) Deputy Denis Naughten - to discuss emergency action to address flooding at Lough Funshinagh, County Roscommon, which is threatening homes and farm buildings; (3) Deputy Neale Richmon…
We have gone significantly over time but given the seriousness of the subject I have allowed that. Are copies of all the Ministers' speeches available for Deputies?
The Deputy's time is up.
We are way over time.
This document I have to hand is what the report looks like. I hold it up to show survivors because they do not have it. It is the executive summary with the recommendations and one or two other things. Not a single survivor has it. I have it since yesterday, when it was put in the pigeonholes of Deputies. I am not sure whether the media colluded with the Government or whether it was pure ignorance on their part but in every bulletin, they said the report would be made available to survivors prior to us getting it. …
