On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 47 of 993 decisive votes (13 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.

I am dealing with constituents who are in a situation where they have loved ones who are afraid they will lose their lives because the system is failing them-----
-----and the Tánaiste stands over that system.
The programme was very clear.
The Tánaiste is stonewalling the families.
People are dying.
The issue of the Operation Kenova report has gone on for ten years and at the core of it is the very concept that the British state broke the law and set out to break the law. I was just thinking earlier of Michael Davitt. He used to say the law was little more than another weapon in the government's arsenal to keep the lord in his mansion and the peasant in his place. It is very much the same thing here because the law clearly only applies to certain people and not to those who are the state operators in respect o…
As the Minister of State knows, the purpose of the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences (Amendment) Bill is to try to ensure that we can avoid situations where individuals are taking advantage of technology. He mentioned that technology is moving so fast it is hard to keep up with it. That is certainly the point. He also made a valid point to the effect that the victims are primarily women and children, which means that the perpetrators are primarily men. That is something else that has to be con…
I move: That Dáil Éireann: notes: — that Bord Bia's mission statement is to bring Ireland's outstanding food, drink and horticulture to the world, thus enabling growth and sustainability of producers; — the importance of Irish food and drink exports to the Irish economy; — the importance of Ireland's reputation around the world as a food producer; — that the Irish food and drinks industry is dependent on Irish farmers as the primary producer; and — the animal health and welfare standards that Irish farmers must adh…
We are back here again, unfortunately. I first want to welcome all the farmers in the Visitors Gallery, who represent thousands of farmers around the country, and who are not "emotional", but are extremely angry about this situation. Bord Bia has done amazing work promoting Irish food, Irish drink and Irish horticulture around the world, and it has played an important role in increasing Irish exports to record volumes. The value of Irish food, drink and horticulture is estimated to hit €21 billion for 2025. We reco…
The motion was put down beforehand.
The Minister is so disingenuous. He is something else.
The Minister knows this motion was put down last week before that happened. The Minister knows that.
Honest debate seems to be gone, just like an honest chairman.
The Minister of State said "South America" there.
You are a waffler.
Yes.
Ah now.
Two days before, the Taoiseach said we would vote for it.
Deal with the issue.
Seriously.
