I thank the Deputy.
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 thank the Deputy.
Time is up, Deputy, please.
Deputy, please, the time is up.
Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire.
Briefly.
A motion of the House is not legally binding on the Government or on any Government. Does the Minister make any comment in respect of that?
I would have to take advice on that but I assume Members can table any motion they wish before the Oireachtas in Private Members' time or with Government approval if they get Government time. It is entirely a matter for the Members. I cannot control that; the Minister does not control that. That concludes statements on the final report of the independent scoping exercise into the circumstances surrounding the death of Shane O'Farrell. May he rest in peace.
Deputy Tully is leading for Sinn Féin on this motion. She has 20 minutes. I presume she is sharing time with her colleagues? Yes.
I thank the Deputy.

There is just time for Deputy Dillon to introduce his question.
I am afraid we are out of time.
