We are on amendment No. 1.
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.

Before calling on the Minister for Justice, on behalf of all Members of Dáil Éireann, I wish to acknowledge the presence in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery of Shane O'Farrell's family - his mother, Lucia, his father, Jim, and his sisters Pia, Hannah, Gemma and Aimee.

Lucia O'Farrell and her family have been in and out of the offices of TDs and Senators in this House to fight for justice for Shane since 2011.

Today we could say it is vindication but we have to remember that all through those years it was not easy for Lucia O'Farrell and her family.
