Without breaching the etiquette of the Chair, I would like to be on the floor to support that. I call Senator Currie.
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.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam, Paddy Moloney. I call Senator Seery Kearney.
Time, Senator.
I thank the Senator, but-----
I thank the Senator for his objective analysis. He can contribute again during statements on the budget.
I thank Senator Conway for his very objective analysis of the budget.
I remind colleagues we will have statements on the budget later.
I am not focusing this on any individual, but I remind the House it is not protocol to mention the presence or absence of colleagues, if we can avoid that.
I cannot hear the Senator.
I was going to interrupt Senator Fitzpatrick had she not stopped, because I would be in trouble in County Monaghan if I did not allow Senator Gallagher in.
We have moved into the regular five-minute slots now. I call Senator McGreehan.
As per the list, our next speaker is Senator Micheál Carrigy, followed by Senator Boyhan.
I am reading from the list prepared by the office.
By 5.30 p.m. I call Senator Carrigy.
Senator Carrigy should be allowed to speak without interruption.
Is the amendment being pressed?
Amendments Nos. 10 to 12, inclusive, are related; and amendments Nos. 11 and 12 are logical alternatives. As amendments Nos. 10 to 12, inclusive, are related they may be discussed together, by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Is the Senator pressing the amendment?
