On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 34 of 819 decisive votes (8 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.

As in, I think they do not exist?
They exist. I believe in them.
No, that is not correct.
I do not believe it is the Tánaiste’s job to look after private developers. It is his job to provide public housing.
More investors-----
The Government did not do 10,000 last year. Is the Tánaiste joking?
Is it 10,000 social houses?
The figures are going up by the day.
It is obvious the Tánaiste is dancing the tune of the speculators and developers. Even the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service, IGEES, stated there is no problem with people objecting to planning permission or putting in submissions on build-to-rent and totally unaffordable developments. In such developments, Jackie - on whom the Tánaiste quite disgracefully tried to cast aspersions-----
That is what he has actually just done.
Jackie has looked at 700 properties over the year in which she and her family have been threatened with eviction.

Does the Tánaiste know what the average rent is? It is €2,900 but the highest HAP threshold is €1,900 which means there is nothing available. That is what the Tánaiste's speculators an…
What are the Jackies supposed to do? Where are they supposed to go? Has the Tánaiste got an answer for them?
Five.
Jackie's daughter wrote to the Tánaiste. Maybe he could respond to her letter?
They are over the threshold. Does the Tánaiste not get that?
They are banging down their door for weeks. They are not going to do it.
They are waiting on an instruction from you guys.
They are submissions on planning developments; that is it.
There are tens of thousands of planning permissions. Give me a break. There is no shortage of planning permissons - none.
