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.

Are the proposed arrangements for this week's business agreed to?
Time is up, Deputy.
Time is up. I thank the Deputy.
Time is up.
Deputy O'Dea, please.
As Deputy Matt Shanahan and Deputy Patricia Ryan are not here, I call Deputy Ó Cuív.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy.
All right.
I could always stand down and run.
The last effort did not work out too well.
All right. Very good. You do not miss any opportunity. Fair play to you.
I got that. Can Deputy Leddin follow that?
There is now a Government slot so Deputy Leddin can speak. We will then go to Deputies Pringle and Connolly and then to Deputy Matthews.
Next is the Chair of the committee, Deputy Matthews. I will ask him to propose the adjournment of the debate at 6.23 p.m.
No. We have to finish at 6.23 p.m., but if the Deputy finishes earlier, the Minister of State can wrap up.
Yes.
With two minutes remaining, I call Deputy Howlin.
I ask the Deputy to propose the adjournment after which he will have 18 minutes remaining.
