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?
In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time on Wednesday, 18 November 2020.
Thank you, Deputy. You are out of time.
I am sorry Deputy but there are four speakers and we will run out of time.
I agree but we will run out of time for answers. Deputy Tóibín is next.
We are way over time and must move on to the next group of questions.
We are running out of time, Taoiseach, and I am obliged to stop. Deputy Boyd Barrett also had an issue.
We are over time, unfortunately. When we come back, we will have questions to the Minister for Defence, Deputy Coveney. The motion that was tabled will be taken tomorrow.
I ask for Members' co-operation with the times.
That was a lenient interpretation of the motion.
In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time on Wednesday, 18 November 2020.
I hate to interrupt but I must ensure that everyone gets a turn.
The Minister of State should let the Deputy finish.
An bhfuil an Teachta ag iarraidh san am atá fágtha an t-amhrán a chanadh?

Fáiltím roimh an deis páirt a ghlacadh sa díospóireacht seo. Tiocfaidh mé ar ais ag an bpáipéar ó Roinn na Gaeltachta a d’fhoilsigh an Rialtas. Is cáipéis thar a bheith suimiúil í, ag cur síos ar an tionchar uafásach a bheidh ag an mBreatimeacht ar chomhlachtaí sa Ghaeltacht, go háirithe na comhlachtaí beaga atá ag brath go huile agus go hiomlán ar a gcuid táirgí ag dul trasna na farraige go Sasana agus ar na hamhábhair ag teacht isteach. Beidh siad buailte go dona agus beidh siad thíos. Tá a fhios ag an Aire Stáit…
I thank Deputy McNamara for tabling this motion, to which I added my name in support. I have no difficulty with the amendment tabled by Sinn Féin but I also see great merit in the amendment tabled by Solidarity-People Before Profit. I am sure they will make their own arguments for it but I would ask Deputy McNamara to consider that amendment. I do not think there is anything objectionable in it. The amendment sets out the facts relating to the industry, particularly in the context of the challenges we face with reg…
I ask Deputy Verona Murphy to indicate how much time she will use.
There are 11 minutes remaining in the slot.
