On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 637 of 646 decisive votes (3 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.

The next slot of 20 minutes will be shared by Deputies from Sinn Féin. I ask them to respect each other's time as I intend to finish the slot after 20 minutes.
I thank the Deputy. His time is up.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy. I call the Rural Independent Group. Deputies Pringle, Harkin, Joan Collins, Connolly and McNamara are sharing their time.
I am sorry. It is the Independent Group.
There are so many groups I cannot keep up with them.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
The next slot is that of Sinn Féin, starting with Deputy Carthy, who is sharing his time. Last week, we had a situation in which a Deputy was left with 27 seconds in which to speak, so I ask Members to stick to their time limits when sharing time. I will be ending the slot after 20 minutes.
Five minutes.
The next speaking slot is for the Independent Group.
Please, Deputies. I call Deputy Joan Collins.
I ask Deputies not to be taking each other's time. I am going to call the time up when it is up.
Deputy Ó Murchú has only 27 seconds for his contribution.
Your time is up, Deputy. Your colleagues took your time. Deputy Shortall is next.
The next grouping is People Before Profit-Solidarity. Is Deputy Bríd Smith sharing her time?
That is fine.
The next grouping is the Independent Group, which will have eight minutes. Deputy Harkin and Deputy Pringle will have four minutes each.
The Independent Group has eight minutes in total and they can share it whatever way they want.
The Deputy's time is up.
Deputy McNamara is taking from the next speaker's time. I call Deputy Wynne.
