On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 22 of 456 decisive votes (4 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.

-----and an entitlement to an assessment of need within six months. What changes to the law does the Taoiseach envisage?
You are great.
So what change-----
What is the nature it?
What is the nature of it?
Say it again.
What does that mean?
I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."
Go raibh maith agat as sin. Cuirim fáilte freisin roimh H. E. Dr. Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid. You are very welcome, madam ambassador, and we are honoured to have you here. Today we stand with the Gazan people, who face annihilation. Entire families have been wiped out. Millions have been displaced from their homes and schools and hospitals have been obliterated. They are now starving and blockaded on all sides. Some 14,000 children are on the brink of starvation. There have been 11 weeks of a blockade of food, a blocka…
What is truly repulsive is allowing the Irish Central Bank to oversee the sale of Israeli war bonds that are funding this genocide.
If the Government is serious and sincere, it will back our Bill and stand with Palestine. If you are really serious, Tánaiste, about recognising and respecting the convictions of the people of Ireland, if you are serious about doing everything as you say within your reach, and if you are serious about ending the clear barbarism that we watch every day in Gaza and indeed in the West Bank, you will back our Bill and of course you will also pass the occupied territories Bill. Ireland's history speaks powerfully to us …

Why is the Taoiseach using our speaking time with this nonsense?
I am not withdrawing it.
I am not withdrawing a remark that you made.
I extend a céad míle fáilte to the students of Coláiste Eoghain from Buncrana and to the women from the Breaffy walking group in Castlebar. They are all very welcome. At 10 o'clock this morning, Cara Darmody, a 14-year-old disability campaigner, began a 50-hour protest outside the Dáil, and she joins us in the Gallery as well. I extend a very warm welcome to her and to her father, Mark. Cara is an exceptional and amazing young woman who has stepped forward to fight not just for her brothers Neil and John but for al…
What the High Court found is that the State is breaking the law.
What the High Court demanded is that the State be in compliance with the law.
That is what the ruling means. It does not mean change the law. The Taoiseach's message to us today is that rather than working to be in compliance with the law to ensure that children get the assessments of need to which they are legally entitled within the statutory framework of six months, his idea is to change the law and remove that provision. There is a common view, certainly across those who work within the disability sector and with families, that the problem is not the law. It is actually a very good law. …
I put it to the Taoiseach again that rather than suggesting he simply changes the law, he should comply with the law and tell us how-----
