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 the Minister of State for his thorough engagement.
When is it proposed to sit again?
I have received notice from Senator Jerry Buttimer that, on the motion for the Commencement of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter: The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the availability of the pre-exposure prophylaxis programme, PrEP, in Cork. I have also received notice from Senator Malcolm Byrne on the following matter: The need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the cyberattack on the health service in May 2021, including estimated costs and impact on…
I welcome to the House our colleague, Minister of State, Deputy Feighan, who is one of our former distinguished Members. I wish him well with his recovery.
Senator Malcolm Byrne wishes to raise the need for the Minister for Health to make a statement on the cyberattack on the health service in May 2021, including the estimated costs and the impact on hospital procedures.
My constituency colleague, Senator Robbie Gallagher, wishes to raise the need for the Minister for Transport to make a statement on the availability of electric vehicle charging points, particularly in the counties of Monaghan, Cavan and Meath.
For once, I will take some latitude in the Chair. I congratulate the Senator on raising this important local issue, which I, too, can relate to. I thank him for it.
I thank the Minister of State for his response. Even though he has had a long and intense session this morning, his voice is certainly in good fettle, which is good.
Is cúis áthais dom fáilte go dtí an Seanad a chur roimh an Aire Stáit, an Teachta Chambers. Táimid ag súil le díospóireacht fhiúntach agus le tráthnóna fiúntach dearfach, le cúnamh Dé.
Ba cheart dom a rá go bhfuil baint ag leasuithe Uimh. 2 agus 3 le chéile. Is malairt fhisiceach é leasú Uimh. 3 ar leasú Uimh. 2. Féadfar leasuithe Uimh. 2 agus 3 a phlé le chéile. An bhfuil sé sin aontaithe? Tá.
Pléifimid anois leasú Uimh. 4 in ainmneacha na Seanadóirí Ó Donnghaile, Warfield, Ní Bhaoighealláin agus Ó Gábháin. Is alt nua atá le cur isteach anseo.
Ní aontaím leis sin mar gur ghéill an Seanadóir gan an teanga sin a labhairt.
An mian leis an Seanadóir an leasú seo a bhrú nó ar mhaith leis labhairt?
Tagraím do leasú Uimh. 5 anois in ainmneacha na Seanadóirí Ó Donnghaile, Warfield, Ní Bhaoighealláin agus Ó Gábháin agus is alt nua atá le cur isteach anseo.
An mian leis an Seanadóir Ó Donnghaile an leasú a bhrú?
Conas mar a sheasann an leasú?
An aontaítear go dtarraingeofar siar an leasú?
Cá seasann an leasú?
An bhfuil sé sin aontaithe?
