There is very little time left so we cannot go on as the next questions are grouped.
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.

There is very little time left so we cannot go on as the next questions are grouped.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 29A and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Marc MacSharry - to discuss prioritising the delivery of broadband to schools and business premises in Ballyshannon, south Donegal and north Leitrim; (2) Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin - to discuss the proposed Garda station for Dublin 13 and Dublin 17; (3) Deputy Jennifer Whitmore - to discuss the accommodation crisis at the Greystones community colleg…
The Minister of State has expressed sympathy with employees who are out of a job and talked about how difficult it is for them. He has talked about drawing parallels or saying that the Clerys situation is the same as this one. I ask him to read the motion because nowhere have we asked for sympathy. I thank my colleague, Deputy Joan Collins, for tabling the motion, and I acknowledge the work to date of Solidarity-People Before Profit and Sinn Féin in raising this matter. If one reads this motion, one sees no referen…
I wish to announce for the information of the House that the following members have been nominated to the Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Deputies Cormac Devlin, Jennifer Murnane O'Connor, Pádraig O'Sullivan, Paul McAuliffe and Neasa Hourigan. The following members have been nominated to the Committee on Standing Orders and Dáil Reform: Deputies Denise Mitchell and Marc Ó Cathasaigh.
The point is made Deputy.
I thank the Taoiseach. Time is up, so I will move to the next set of questions. I ask all speakers, including the Taoiseach, to stick to questions and the responses. It is a general observation.
I will take a brief question from Deputy Barry.
The Deputy needs to leave time for the Taoiseach to reply.
I know it is unsatisfactory but we have gone way over time. We must move on to the final round of questions.
Deputy O'Donoghue is in possession. He is sharing time with Deputy Mattie McGrath.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Deputy Higgins is not in the Chamber to ask Question No. 41, so I will move on to Question No. 42 in the name of Deputy Durkan. I am not sure what numbers the Ministers are working from, but the initial question from Deputy Daly was grouped with Question No. 47 in my notes. We are on different number schemes. Deputy Durkan has 30 seconds.
We are nearing the end of the time for this business but I will allow the last question.
The Deputy was supposed to have 30 seconds. I inadvertently took my eye off the clock.
I do not think the Minster for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has yet arrived, so I will allow Deputy Carthy to ask his question.
I ask for Deputy Carthy's co-operation. I extended the timeframe to allow him to ask his question.
Deputy McNamara has another minute.
I will let Deputy McNamara in briefly.
Thank you, Deputy.
The Minister of State can do her best. The questions were tabled in the name of Deputy Kehoe but the other Deputies are entitled to come in.
