Resume your seat, Deputy.
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.

Resume your seat, Deputy.
That concludes that question.
I thank-----
I thank the Taoiseach.
The Taoiseach has made the point and the question is answered. Let us move on.
Deputy Gould.
Allow the Taoiseach to answer.
Deputy Kelly, please.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
We are over time so I ask each of the remaining Deputies, with the agreement of the House, to ask their questions quickly and then there will be a single answer from the Taoiseach.
The next batch of questions-----
Will the Taoiseach-----
I call Deputy Naoise Ó Cearúil.
Yes, but I wanted to-----
That is interesting. To get the Taoiseach's attention, I just call another Deputy, and he very quickly got back.
I thank Deputy Ward. I will just say that some of the remarks he made are not acceptable.
No. The Deputy knows the point I am making. I ask him to take note of it. I am saying it because I want to put it on the record that he was wrong to do what he did. I call Deputy Farrelly.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Thanks, Minister.
The Minister of State without interruption.
