A charge on the revenue.
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.

A charge on the revenue.
Amendment No. 85 has been ruled out of order as it would impose a potential charge on the Revenue.
Amendment No. 86 has been ruled out of order as it would impose a potential charge on the Exchequer.
Be careful what you wish for.
Is the Senator pressing amendment No. 87?
What would the Senator like to do with the amendment?
Amendment No. 89 has been ruled out of order as it involves a potential charge on the Revenue.
No, it is out of order.
The Senator cannot speak to an amendment that has been ruled out of order.
Amendment No. 89 is out of order so the Senator cannot speak to it.
I thank the Minister for his comprehensive response to the debate.
When is it proposed to take Committee Stage?
Is that agreed? Agreed.
When is it proposed to sit again?
I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, back to the House. Amendments Nos. 61 to 64, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together by agreement.
How stands amendment No. 61?
The amendment has already been discussed so at this stage, the Senator can either-----
You can speak to the section but you cannot speak to amendment No. 64 at this stage. You can decide what you want to do with it but you cannot discuss it because amendments Nos. 61 to 64, inclusive, were discussed as a block already.
Are you responding to the Minister of State's response?
Okay, go ahead.
