An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Seven Senators wish to contribute and we are way over time so I ask Senators to be brief.
Mark Daly
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 66 of 66 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.

If the Senator is agreeable, I would do the same and write to the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste as well. The Senator has made a very good proposal.

I still have five Senators offering and I want to get them all in. I do not want to cut them off as they have been here quite a long time so I ask Senators please to confine their contributions to one minute. We are about to run half an hour over our allotted time. I call Senator Mullen.

The rule is simple. If Senators want to intervene during someone's contribution, they have to ask permission. The Senator in possession then has to agree.
