I thank the Minister.
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 thank the Minister.
I remind Members that this session on the decision by the General Court of the European Union in the Apple case will last for one hour.
Ní dóigh liom go bhfuil cainteoir ó Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre ann. Bogfaimid ar aghaidh go dtí an Teachta Shortall, Social Democrats.
Sin críoch anois le ráitis maidir leis an mbreith ó Chúirt Ghinearálta an Aontas Eorpaigh i gcás Apple.
I welcome the Minister for Health, Deputy Donnelly. He has ten minutes to make his statement, following which we will move to a question-and-answer session. If a Deputy chooses to use four minutes for a statement and questions and four minutes for answers, I will indicate when the initial four minutes are up.
I thank the Minister.
I am going to stop the Minister there.
The Minister will get a chance to come back in but other Deputies will not as their time will be up.
That is fine.
I do not mean to interrupt the Minister but I am going to be strict on time because the Deputies wish to come in and out. If I do not stick to the time, they will not get the chance. Bogaimid ar aghaidh go dtí Sinn Féin. Are there two speakers?
The Deputy asked me to come back to him. I am trying to stick to his rules. Does he want the two minutes?
Go ahead, Minister.
We cannot hear the Deputy because there is no microphone on. Now the time is up. The Minister will have to reply in writing to clarify the specific questions which have been asked. I am going to move on because this session will be over at a particular time and I want to ensure all Deputies get an opportunity to ask their questions. I call the Deputies from Solidarity-People Before Profit.
The Minister has only a few seconds left.
We should be moving on to the Regional Independent Group, but I am unsure as to whether any of its members are present.
I beg the Deputy's pardon. Tá sé deacair.
Go raibh maith agat.
I thank the Minister but his time to respond is up. I call Deputy Mattie McGrath.
Thank you, Deputy. As there is no time for a reply, we will move to the next speaker.
The Deputy should conclude.
