It is about the A5 and not about anything else.
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 know how committed the Deputy is to every road and bóithrín in Kerry-----
Right.
You are not promoting the roads of Kerry. Is Deputy Michael Healy-Rae going to start the same thing?
I was just thinking that if I had a hat, I would take it off to the Rural Independent Group. They are inspirational advocates of the Tip O’Neill school, that all politics is-----
The Rural Independents definitely are.
Fair play to them. We will move to Deputy Pringle who knows the local situation.
Now is the time to conclude.
I thank the Deputy.
Yes. I call Deputy Naughten
I thank the Deputy and call the Minister to respond, please.
We have been informed Deputy Aindrias Moynihan will take Deputy Murnane O'Connor's question.
In your case, you have to answer early and answer often
It occurs to me, without having a position one way or the other on this, that this is something Deputy Whitmore should bring back to the House in September or October when, presumably, the necessary studies will have been completed. I do not know if we have ultrasound for hares-----
-----but whatever needs to be done should be done.
The second matter is from Deputy Buckley. The Deputy wishes to discuss the continued and long-running boil water notice in east Cork and the need to resolve the issue permanently.
I am sure the Deputy will keep plugging away at it.
I suspect if that child was taken to a bush hospital, he might have got better care than what the Deputies described.
I thank the four Deputies for raising these matters and the Minister of State for being here to deal with them.
I thank the Minister of State. Does the Deputy wish to respond or can I bring in Deputy Durkan, who has been waiting for some time, for one final question?
