Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
The Tánaiste to continue.
John McGuinness
Rhetoric & votes →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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
I thank the Tánaiste. On behalf of Deputy John Clendennen, I welcome a group in the Public Gallery from St. Brendan's Community School in Birr in County Offaly who recently won the European debating championships. They are here today with their teachers. I hope they have learned a lot from the debate here and I wish them well.

Deputy McCormack, just for clarification, no one is acting as judge and jury, certainly from the Chair anyway. I would like him to know that. I am obliged to call the Deputies from the list I have. It is just to note that. I call Deputy Colm Burke.

Before we suspend, can I mention something on behalf of a number of Members? The Tánaiste might mention to his Government colleagues that when further information is promised during Questions on Promised Legislation or parliamentary questions, or indeed from agencies, they should respond in a reasonable time or give Members a timeframe. Members have asked me to mention that and the quality of the answers to some parliamentary questions.
