I am going to adjourn the House if this carry-on goes on.
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.

I am going to adjourn the House if this carry-on goes on.
I am.
Yes, Deputy, I would take such a matter very seriously.
If the Deputy has some evidence that this Minister or any Minister has supplied deliberate misinformation to the House, bring it to me.
Not now, bring it to me afterwards and we will deal with it.
Resume your seat.
Resume your seat and you resume your seat as well, Minister.
Let us be very clear. There has been claim and counterclaim. I made it abundantly clear that the facts can be ascertained. If the facts are provided to me to show that anybody on either side of the House has misled the House, I will take the appropriate action.
Provide me with the information.
We are concluded.
This is getting more like Punch and Judy.
Resume your seat. We will now hear from Deputy Quinlivan, who will share with Deputies Crowe, Mythen and Ellis. If the Minister interrupts those Deputies, I will have to adjourn the House.
Deputy Barry is next and has just over two minutes.
Deputy Canney and Deputy Tóibín are sharing time.
Deputy Mattie McGrath is sharing with his colleagues.
Words of wisdom.
I call Deputy Tully for a final contribution.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Louise O'Reilly - To discuss the need to legislate for a recent Supreme Court ruling on employment status. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor - To discuss the expansion of dental care for patients and increased fees for dental contractors. Deputy Colm Burke - To discuss a proposal whereby general medical practitioners will not be permitted to have income…
The second Topical Issue matter has been submitted by Deputies Cahill, Fitzmaurice, McGuinness and Carthy. They wish to discuss the case of a farmer in County Kilkenny whose farm was hit by environmental contamination. I must apologise to the Deputies who have tabled this. I had indicated we would give two slots to this. That did not transpire but I will, with the agreement of the House, give an additional minute to each Deputy wishing to contribute on this matter if they are happy with that. Is that agreed? Agreed…
It is an extraordinary case. I thank the Minister for being here to deal with it.
