Thank you, Deputy, please.
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.

Please, Deputy.
Please, Deputy.
Please, Deputy Tóibín.
You can ask only one.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Good.
Deputy Durkan is enjoying it. The next slot is a three-minute Sinn Féin slot, but its Deputies are not present. Deputy McGuinness was late for his seven-minute slot. If Members are amenable, I will give him the three-minute Sinn Féin slot and I will proceed from there. Can we do that?
Words of wisdom, Deputy Shanahan. Deputy Tóibín is next.
You should not be reminding us about that.
I am sorry, Minister, tá an t-am caite.
I welcome the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, and I call Deputy Doherty.
