Sorry, did the Senator formally second the motion?
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 236 of 237 decisive votes (0 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.

Sorry, did the Senator formally second the motion?
Would the Minister like to come in now?
Other people's contributions might be influenced by what the Minister has to say.
The Senator might have to declare an interest.
Senator O'Loughlin and I will share time.
Fianna Fáil welcomes this Bill. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, back to the House. It is important we acknowledge domestic violence is a significant concern among a certain cohort of people. People often do not know it is happening. It is silent and hidden. I am not going to go into an in-depth technical analysis of the Bill as Senators Martin and Garvey and the Minister's response dealt with that, or the potential unintended consequences or difficulties with the legislation as it is currently dra…
At 9.30 a.m. tomorrow.
We are resuming on Committee Stage of the Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023 to adjourn at 8.30 p.m., if not previously concluded. We are resuming on amendment No. 8 and when we adjourned the last day Senator Gavan was in position but he is not here today. Senator Warfield is his party colleague. Does he want to say something at this point?
I remind all Senators we are speaking to the grouping of amendments Nos. 8 to 13, inclusive. Does Senator Higgins want to come in?
As somebody in Limerick, the Minister of State probably had a vote himself.
Amendments Nos. 14 to 16, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together by agreement.
Amendments Nos. 17 and 18 are related. Amendment No. 18 is a physical alternative to amendment No. 17. Amendments Nos. 17 and 18 may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? It is.
Amendments Nos. 19, 20, 88 to 91, inclusive, 95 and 138 to 143, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together.
The Senator has not moved those amendments yet. She cannot withdraw them until she moves them, but we will deal with them when we get to them. Is amendment No. 21 being pressed?
Amendments Nos. 24 to 27, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Amendments Nos. 28 and 67 to 74, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
As it is 8.30 p.m. I am required to adjourn.
Sorry, as it is 8.30 p.m. the debate on this Bill must adjourn in accordance with the order of the Seanad today. Can I ask Senator Cummins to report progress please?
When is it proposed to sit again?
Is that agreed? Agreed.
