On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 1,003 of 1,012 decisive votes (2 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.

The Ireland of today, the modern Republic the Senator and I love, is not the same place. We will continue with every instinct and at every…
