On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 43 of 857 decisive votes (13 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 would also say, and I do not want the Minister to respond now because it would be taking from my colleague's time, that people doing construction studies and project work need certainty also.
As the Minister for Health is more than aware, it was confirmed within the past hour and a half that there is a patient in the intensive care unit in Cork University Hospital who has tested positive for the coronavirus. The patient is receiving intensive care in an isolation unit. As with many other Deputies from affected areas, my phone has been hopping since the case arose.

Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an gCeann Comhairle as a bheith atofa agus go n-éirí leis ina phost.

We have no more an automatic right to be in government, as some claim we believe, than anyone else. However, it is wo…
