It is just not acceptable.
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 ask that Deputies speak through the Chair or I am going to abandon the Dáil, and I do not wish to do that. I am asking the Deputy for the last time to show a little respect-----
-----for the Chair, if nothing else. I thank the Deputies. It was Deputy Collins' question. It is now finished-----
-----and I am going to move on to Questions on Policy or Legislation. I thank the Deputies and ask for their co-operation.
I thank the Deputies. If we could have co-operation from both sides of the House, that would be very helpful.
I thank the Deputy.
Go raibh maith agat. I call on the Taoiseach to respond.
Gabhaim buíochas. I call the Minister, Deputy Humphreys.
Thank you, Deputy. The Taoiseach to respond, please.
The Taoiseach to respond.
Amendments Nos. 10 to 12, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together. Amendments Nos. 11 and 12 are physical alternatives to amendment No. 10.
That completes the debate on this amendment. Deputy Howlin got in because he was the proposer.
I am in a little difficulty because Deputy Berry wanted to contribute also. By agreement-----
If we are in agreement, I will allow a quick comment from Deputy Berry. I should really finish with Deputy Howlin but, by way of exception, the Tánaiste will get the last word.
Cuirfear an Bille chuig an Seanad anois. The Bill will now be sent to the Seanad.
Seanad Éireann has passed the Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund Bill 2024, without amendment.
The Minister started off very well.
Did Deputy Matthews speak on this amendment before?
We will not do the Deputy out of time. He is not recorded as speaking on this group of amendments.
That is okay.
