I ask the Senator to respect the Chair for second. This is not a Second Stage speech. It is not a debate on a Bill.
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 ask the Senator to respect the Chair for second. This is not a Second Stage speech. It is not a debate on a Bill.
Thank you.
I am being fair.
That is okay. I am but-----
I would be happy to talk to the Senator again about that. This is not a Bill. This is the Order of Business, where Members request a debate or for a Minister to come to the House. That is all I am saying.
That is in the interests of all. I am fair to all Members.
I will adjudicate that as Chair. I will chair the proceedings.
Senator Keogan without interruption please. The Senator is inviting commentary and interruption from Members by her comments.
This is the Order of Business-----
With respect, the Senator is here now two years. This is the Order of Business. It is not, as I said, Second Stage, Committee Stage or Report Stage.
I ask the Senator to conclude then.
I ask the Senator to conclude now. I have added on time for her.
The Senator is well over time now. I call an Seanadóir Ó Donnghaile.
I am sorry. Gabh mo leithscéal. Senator Black is next. Rinne mé dearmad.
Senator, I am sorry. Are you calling for a debate?
The Chair is fair to everyone and the clock is operated independently-----
I welcome to the Gallery the students from St. Malachy's Mixed National School in Finglas, and a delegation from Portarlington. I thank them for being here and I hope they have a good visit to Leinster House. I call Senator Conway.
Thank you Senator. You have had your two minutes.
Thank you Senator.
The Senator is well over time now.
