I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton, back to the House and I welcome her colleagues as well.

Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 440 of 443 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.
