I thank Senator Keogan for her felicitous remarks.
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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I thank Senator Keogan for her felicitous remarks.
I thank Senator Ruane.
I remind Members of this House that Members of the other House should not be referred to here, but we will move on. I call Senator Dolan to speak now, please.
It is between her and Senator Carrigy and I hope I have the order correct as they both came in close to each other.
To move to the right, although I am not sure they might be happy with that appellation.
Senator Ó Donnghaile to speak, without interruption.
A point well made.
Thank you.
Well done, Senator.
Thanks to the courtesy of Senator Buttimer we will get Senator Currie back to an important meeting.
And now, the ever-patient and courteous Senator Buttimer.
Leis an fhocal scoir, an Seanadóir Seery Kearney.
Go raibh míle maith agat, a Sheanadóir.
Go raibh míle maith agat, a Sheanadóir. Well done. You clearly feel strongly on this issue. I ask the Deputy Leader to be brief in responding to the Order of Business as we have time issues.
I thank the Deputy Leader. Before we conclude the Order of Business, Senator Higgins, who is always so factual and knows what she is talking about, is anxious to correct the record. What she discussed is tragic but she wants it noted that she made a mistake in saying that one person would die every five seconds in the Horn of Africa. She wants to correct the record to state that a person will die every 48 seconds. This remains something beyond tragic. I want to associate myself and the Cathaoirleach with the words …
Is there a seconder?
Amendment No. 15 in the names of Senators Higgins and Ruane has been ruled out of order as it is in conflict with the principle of the Bill.
When is it proposed to take the next Stage?
Is that agreed? Agreed.
