Could the Taoiseach please-----
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.

Could the Taoiseach please-----
Deputy Danny Healy-Rae-----
Taoiseach, please. The Leas-Cheann Comhairle is standing. It is rare but it is my second time doing so today. The time for Questions on Promised Legislation is over. That is it. We are moving on to the next item.
Could the Deputy-----
Will the Deputy please resume his seat?
Could the Deputy please resume his seat and show a little respect for the Leas-Cheann Comhairle?
I am asking the Deputy for the last time to please sit down and show a little respect.

Deputy Healy-Rae------
Will Deputy Healy-Rae please resume his seat?
Okay. Members must speak through the chair. I am asking for the last time. I will suspend the Dáil.
Please. Out of respect for the seat of democracy, I ask the Deputy to resume his seat.
I am going to suspend the Dáil. That is it.
We will move on to the next item of business.
The Deputy has made his point.
I will allow the Taoiseach to respond to the Deputy if he wants to, but I am not allowing any further debate on this matter. What has happened here is unacceptable. I have suspended the Dáil and now we are going to resume our business. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae has made his point and I hear what he is saying. If the Taoiseach wants to respond briefly at this point, he is more than welcome to do so. Deputy Healy-Rae has asked a specific question, namely, that the Taoiseach would withdraw his comment.
That is okay.
We are not going to repeat what was said.
Thank you, a Thaoisigh.
We are not going to repeat what was said. The matter stands as it stands. If Deputy Michael Healy-Rae is unhappy with it, there are procedures by way of which he can take his complaint further.
