When is it proposed to sit again?
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.

When is it proposed to sit again?
Amendments Nos. 22 and 23 have been ruled out of order.
I remind the Senator that we are dealing with amendment No. 27.
It is not about what I would like.
I am not making an apology. I ask the Senator not to be smart about it. I told him we are dealing with an amendment on Report Stage.
I have been in the Chair at least three times in the course of the debate on this Bill and I have heard the Senator making the same speech previously. His views are very clear and very well articulated. He has articulated them a number of times. We are dealing with Report Stage.
I did not ask the Senator to do so.
No, not at this point.
As the mover of the amendment, Senator Flynn may speak again after the Minister has replied but she cannot come in again before then. That is the rule for Report Stage. It is not my rule.
I ask the Minister to respond.
The Minister should be allowed to speak without interruption.
The Minister, without interruption.
How does Senator Flynn wish to proceed on amendment No. 27?
That is not possible at this point. She can withdraw it if she so wishes.
This is Report Stage.
Amendment No. 28 is a Government amendment and has already been discussed.
The Senator did not say "vótáil". She pressed the amendment but she did not call for a vote on it.
We have moved on. We have dealt with the amendment and I cannot go backwards.
There is no way around it on this amendment. We have moved on and are dealing with amendment No. 28. The Senator needed to say "vótáil" when we were dealing with amendment No. 27. Nobody said "vótáil".
Yes, the Senator pressed the amendment, I put it to a voice vote and it was defeated. The Senator did not say "vótáil". That is how it works.
