On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 125 of 781 decisive votes (6 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.

A lot of fake news.
The Government issues a fair bit of fake news itself.
Since the Government has been cobbled together, it has been a fake.
Get out the wellies.
The wet one is in the Shannon.
I am aware a meeting of the Business Committee is scheduled for this evening. I asked at a Business Committee meeting last week about our not being allowed to ask about promised legislation. I thought we were getting that and I supposed I was not alert enough to what happened. Is there any chance that we can discuss promised legislation tomorrow and Thursday? We are to have a Business Committee meeting this evening. This is cutting out Deputies of all parties and intentions.
And they did not turn up.
They had not even turned up.
I had something else to raise but again this is hypocrisy from Sinn Féin. I proposed at the Business Committee meeting last Thursday, which the Ceann Comhairle chaired, that we would sit here every day and I got no seconder from Sinn Féin so this is grandstanding in the extreme. I was told by the party's representative that it might support me the next day. As the Ceann Comhairle knows, I have proposed at every Business Committee meeting that we do not sit in the Convention Centre because of the cost and all of the…
I am not making stuff up.
They are facts.
Thank you.
Lies.
Total lies.
Let us have the truth.
The Dáil bar is closed.
We have a meeting tonight and I hope we can at least discuss it then. We will wait for the proposals certainly but, for the record of the House, I have been making proposals at each meeting and the Sinn Féin Whip was there the last day and he did not support me. He said he might support me. That is a fact and the records are there to prove it. Hypocrisy goes on.
The Deputy should ask his Whip.
I thank everyone for their co-operation. That concludes the Topical Issue Debate.
