Absolutely.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 1,044 of 1,051 decisive votes (3 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.

Absolutely.
That concludes questions to the Taoiseach on Covid-19. We move on now straight into questions to the Minister for Health. If we move quickly through this time, and I will talk to the Ceann Comhairle if he is back in-----
With the agreement of the House, we will take Deputy Pringle's question and Deputy McNamara's questions now if that is okay with the Minister for Health. We will have to be quick. I am trying to keep to the time. We are wasting time now.
I call Deputy McNamara and thank him for his co-operation.
Is that Deputy McNamara's only question?
It was not cut short. It was just-----
The Deputy still has time.
I did my best for the Deputy and his colleague. That concludes the first round of questions. The second round, questions for the Minister for Health, begins now. It shall not exceed one hour and 40 minutes and each party shall have ten minutes for questions and answers. I call Deputy Donnelly.
If the Deputy is sharing his time-----
We move on to Sinn Féin. I call Deputy O'Reilly. Is the Deputy sharing time?
The Minister has three and a half minutes to respond.
The Minister has about 20 seconds, yes.
Are those all of Deputy Ossian Smyth's questions?
Is that agreed? Agreed.
The Minister for Health departed the Chamber to attend a briefing of all party and group leaders on Covid-19. The Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht will conclude the debate for the Government.
I will allow a brief comment.
One speaker, please.
The Minister has a minute and a half left.
