A question has been asked and we have run out of time.
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.

I know it is early in the morning now.
Deputy Carthy wants to comment.
I am still keeping Deputies to the time limit. They can give their birthday wishes afterwards.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy.
I will ignore the comment that the Deputy made earlier because it is late at night and I know we are all tired. I am sticking to the time limits for the benefit of all Deputies. Everybody is waiting on their turn.
The Deputy has one minute.
The Deputy made a comment under his breath to the effect that he had only gone over his time limit by a few seconds.

I ask the Deputy to co-operate. There are Deputies waiting and the time is running.
