On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 509 of 516 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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

-----and was part of a broader disinformation campaign that followed my visit, which in itself was illustrative in terms of how people want to undermine objectivity and impartiality and fair assessment of how we all approach this issue.
On my visit, I had the opportunity to engage in person with a range of interlocutors. I took every opportunity to stress the need for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, for de-escalation and for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, including Emily Hand. During my visit, I also visited the Sderot area in southern Israel, meeting with families and communities affected by the terrible Hamas attacks of 7 October. I regret very much that Deputy Murphy seems to think the visit to Kibbutz Be'…
It was not anything of the sort. What I saw there was horrific and I only saw the village and neighbourhood that were destroyed. It is not wrong to do that and to visit that area. His outrageous assertion that this represented a sort of propaganda exercise-----
-----is incomprehensible and shows a complete disregard for the loss of human life in respect of the Hamas attack on that particular neighbourhood. That is informative in itself. We have not forgotten and nor do we underestimate the impact of those brutal attacks on the people in Israel. Our thoughts continue to be with those who have been killed, including our fellow citizen, Kim Damti, and those left bereaved, left terrorised, left injured and those who have been taken hostage and their families and communities. …
Ireland will continue to be a leading voice in raising these issues. The Government will continue to push for a halt to settler violence and forced displacement, while actively supporting the resilience of Palestinians living under threat. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic and has worsened daily. The reports of the situation and the numbers of civilian casualties in Gaza are truly horrific. Most recent reports suggest that up to 14,000 people have been killed and more than 1.5 million people have b…
I want to talk today about the State's approach to international security. This is my first time to address the House in detail on the outcome of the Consultative Forum on International Security Policy since it took place in June this year. I thank the many colleagues who participated in the sessions, particularly those from the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence. I also pay tribute to the many members of the public who took the time to attend, watch online or to submit views in writing. It was my inten…
The Deputy is talking nonsense.
It is time the Deputy got real.
Idiotic.
The Deputy is being idiotic and stupid.
I just do not want Russia vetoing everything we do, that is all.
So stupid, for Christ's sake.
Sinn Féin did not do so in 2014. It backed Russia in 2014.
You are playing politics all the time with this issue.
You have been a disgrace.
You have been a disgrace on this.
Do not lecture me on the loss of civilian life, Deputy. You know a lot more about it than I do-----
-----and your organisation does.
It is a bit rich for you now to be lecturing us.
Do you condemn the Provisional IRA?
