Come on.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 41 of 930 decisive votes (9 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.

Come on.
Was there a deal on speaking time?
Was there a deal?
The Taoiseach has repeatedly told the Dáil, and did so again today, that this is about eight minutes of time and that the Opposition is not losing a single minute of speaking time. I ask him to confirm that is not true and is not something the media should be repeating without interrogation because it is not based on facts. You are cutting Opposition time every single week by 69.5 minutes. You are halving from a meagre minute to 30 seconds for each group to oppose the Order of Business. You are halving the time for…
I will finish on this. If the Taoiseach thinks that Michael Lowry or members of his group asking Leaders' Questions will be accepted here next week, he has another thing coming.
The role of the Ceann Comhairle in this has been nothing short of disgraceful.
This is not over.
This destruction of the rights of the Opposition in this Dáil will not be accepted.
I agree with people power, yes.
We should listen to the people.
So you are cutting our time.
Is there any chance of getting in?
Except those of the Opposition.
Then why are you halving our time?
Respect the Ceann Comhairle's decision.
Allow a debate here.
There is a fundamental issue here-----
Sorry, Ceann Comhairle-----
-----I will not resume my seat.
What is at stake here is a fundamental subversion of our rights to hold the Government to account. It is a fundamental question.
