Do you want me to suspend the House?
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 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.

The House is suspended for five minutes.
The question is that the arrangements for this week's business-----
Deputy, I will give the Minister an opportunity to answer if she wants. The simple fact of the matter is that I do not think there is a single Member in this House who is not sickened by what they see happening in Gaza-----
-----and what we saw happen in Israel on 7 October.
We were shocked and appalled by all of it but I do not know what is being achieved by shouting in here and jumping up and down-----
-----or by a debate. Minister, over to you.
Deputy Boyd Barrett asked the Minister a question. Would the Deputies do her the courtesy of listening without shouting and interrupting her again? What gallery are they playing to?
What gallery are you playing to, Deputies?
What gallery are you playing to? If you ask the Minister a question, have the good manners and courtesy to allow her to respond without interruption.
Time is up.
Thank you, Deputy. The time is up.
