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.

Sin deireadh leis on díospóireacht. Ó tharla an t-am a ceadaítear le haghaidh na díospóireachta seo a bheith caite, ní foláir dom an cheist seo a leanas a chur de réir Ordú an Dáil ar an lá seo. The time permitted for this debate having expired, I am required to put the following question in accordance with an Order of the Dáil on this day: "Go n-aontaítear leis seo i gCoiste ailt 1 agus 2, an Sceideal, an Réamhrá agus an Teideal agus go dtuairiscítear an Bille gan leasú don Teach dá réir sin; go gcríochnaítear lei…
That is right. I am in the middle of putting a question now. The time is up. At this point, we have moved on and I am in the middle of a formal vote on this matter. I have read out exactly what is the guillotine formula when the time is up. I am in the process of doing that.

I thank the Minister.
I thank the Minister. We are way over time.
Tá muid thar am.

Is this a supplementary question on the principal question, Deputy?
The Minister will get a chance to come back in.

The time is still running.
Is the Deputy voluntarily giving up two minutes and 42 seconds?
That is very good.
Apology accepted.
Fáiltim roimh an deis cúpla focal a rá faoin leasú seo don Bhunreacht. Ceapaim go bhfuil sé tábhachtach agus aontaím leis ach tá mé buartha faoin míniú atá ann agus faoin gcumarsáid maidir le durability. Tiocfaidh mé ar ais go dtí sin. I agree with the Minister who said that the constitutional position remains that Article 41 does not apply to unmarried couples. That is a dreadful situation and I totally agree with the Minister on that. It is something we have to change and must change. Regarding the manner in whic…
