I remind Senators that it is their prerogative to table amendments on Report Stage, if they so wish. I am making that point to all Senators, not just Senator Clifford-Lee.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 634 of 639 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.

I was not referring to the Senator specifically but to all Members. I have been following this debate since 2.30 p.m. It is open to Members from all sides of the House to table amendments on Report Stage.
I call Senator Chambers, the Leader of the House.
We are on the capital plan and not on human resources.
On the section.
The Leader is straying now.
I am sorry Senator Ruane. I will chair the House, thank you. Members will speak through the Chair.
I thank the Senator.
On the section, please. The Senator is stretching again.
Sure I know that, and that is the problem.
Yes, I do.
In fairness, I do.
That is all right. Senator Chambers is the Leader of the House.
Yes, and I will chair the House, thank you.
I thank the Senator.
I have never stopped the Senator from doing that, as she knows.
Lean ar aghaidh.
On this section, now.
I will keep saying it.
I will keep saying it. I think Members need to hear the Chair on this point.
