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.

I ask the Minister of State to address his remarks to the Chair.
That concludes the debate on Private Members' Business. The question is that the motion be agreed to.
Those in favour say "Tá", those against say "Níl".
I consider that the question is lost.
Do I understand that the Deputy has called a vote? In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time on Wednesday, 1 October 2025.
You have to conclude, Deputy.
Thank you, Minister, you must conclude.
I thank the Minister.
The only thing I can do is bring it to the attention of the Ceann Comhairle immediately after the session. I know the Deputy said he has written. It is now a matter for the Ceann Comhairle. That is about as much as can be done.
Could you conclude, Deputy?
You should conclude, Deputy Murphy, please.
I call Deputy McGrath.
Minister of State, please.
Deputy, we have moved on to Deputy McGrath. Please have respect for him.
Deputy Rice.
Deputy Tóibín, you can write to the Ceann Comhairle about your complaint. This is not the place for it. I call Deputy Rice.
Okay. That will be later on and not now.
The Deputy to conclude.
Is the Bill opposed?
