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 Select Committee on Transport and Communications Networks has completed its consideration of the following Revised Estimates for public services for the service of the year ending on 31 December 2020: Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications.
The Taoiseach has indicated that he wishes to make a statement pursuant to Standing Order 55 in advance of Leaders' Questions.
Before we start Leaders' Questions, I ask Deputies to co-operate with time, which is to the benefit of everybody.
We must stick to the time allocated. Deputy McDonald had four minutes for her questions and the Taoiseach had four minutes to reply. There is now one minute remaining.
The Taoiseach is now going over-----
I am going to ask again that we put a stop to the interaction. Can we have the questions put and then answered within the time limit?
I thank Deputies for their co-operation and look forward to it continuing for the Order of Business.
I have something to draw to the House's attention. It is a special day. There have been 101 years and 1,000 bound volumes of the Official Report of Dáil Éireann, sin Tuairisc Oifigiúil Dháil Éireann - 1,000 imleabhar. I have received correspondence from the Editor of Debates informing me that today's sitting marks a particular milestone in the history of this House as it will commence the 1,000th bound volume of Tuairisc Oifigiúil Dháil Éireann, the Official Report of debates of Dáil Éireann. Ón tús, mheas Teachtaí…
Tá sé tábhachtach é sin a rá.
The House has agreed that for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency only, the rapporteur's report of the Order of Business shall not be read, but taken as read. There are three proposals to be put to the House today. First, is the proposal for dealing with the order of Tuesday's business agreed to?
I will take one speaker from each group.
Other Members are indicating that they wish to speak, but there might be a reply that could pre-empt wasting more time.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
I am taking just one speaker from each group and Deputy McGrath has indicated as the speaker from that group.
The Deputy should wait a moment. Is the proposal agreed?
Deputy McGrath is not agreeing to the proposal.
No, we are not going into that now.
The Deputy is not agreed to it. There is no need for a debate. There has been a proposal and it is not agreed to.
No.
That is not a point of order.
