An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
I welcome the officials from Revenue, who are guests of the superintendent's section in Leinster House. I hope they enjoy their visit.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 462 of 465 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.

Would any Member like to speak?
I will just clarify, as the Senator was not here, that amendments Nos. 1 to 6, inclusive, 8, and 15 to 18, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together. That has been agreed, so the Senator is entitled to speak to the group.
Nobody moved amendment No. 1. That is why I asked the Senator to wait.
I will bring Senator Higgins in. I am just asking Senator Murphy to move his amendment first.
