Deputy Newsome Drennan should allow the Tánaiste to speak.
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.

Thank you. We will move to the next question in the name of Deputy Conway-Walsh.
Deputy Whitmore, please address your remarks through the Chair.
Thanks, Tánaiste. Deputy O’Gorman is next.
I join with the Tánaiste in his expression of condolences to the Banim family and to Noreen, whom we all know here, on the death of her mother, Maura.
Is the Bill being opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
That concludes our business for this morning. I thank all the Members, the staff, the press and everyone involved in the House for their co-operation during the term. I want to acknowledge the fact that we had Cara Darmody in the Public Gallery this morning. I omitted to mention that. I wish her well in the campaign and in her efforts.
Before I call Deputy Gannon, I welcome the Spangle Hill Men's Shed group, who are visiting Dáil Éireann today with Deputy O'Flynn.
