The Minister of State has moved the proposal.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 425 of 432 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.

The Minister of State has moved the proposal.
Thank you, Deputy.
I call Deputy Stanley.
Oh.
It is gone now. I call Deputy Stanley.
The Deputy should conclude.
Thank you, Deputy.
The Deputy cannot move the amendment because the Sinn Féin amendment has been moved. I call Deputy Devlin.
I ask the Deputy to conclude. I call the Minister.
I thank the Minister.
I thank the Minister of State.
I call on the Minister of State to respond.
You are way over time, Deputy.
I ask Deputies, the Minister and Ministers of State to stick to their allocated time. I do not want to get into a crossfire exchange with Members. I ask for greater efficiency in the use of their time.
Sorry, Minister, Deputy McGuinness has a question.
Deputy O'Shea should ignore the noise and make his contribution.
Deputy Martin Kenny has a supplementary.
That concludes questions to the Minister for agriculture. We will now move on to Leader's Questions. Before I call Deputy Doherty, I want to welcome a group of history students and their teachers to the Public Gallery. They are guests of Deputy Timmins and are very welcome. I hope they enjoy their day in Dáil Éireann.
A day like this helps us to pause the cycle all of us are in and gives us a chance to reflect on how far we have come, or indeed what other work needs to be done, particularly in the context of International Women's Day. I reflect on my mother, who had a great social conscience and formed the politics I stand for today. I would like to acknowledge that. Of course, as you grow up then, you are influenced by your family, your wife and your daughter. My daughter Alva bullied me a lot but she got me on the right course…
Deputy Ó Broin.
