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.

Deputy, no. We will not have any more of this. The Minister of State, Senator Hackett, is more than entitled to be here. As she said, it is in total compliance with the Constitution. The Bog of Allen covers a fair stretch of County Kildare. Please, Deputies, control yourselves.
Deputy please-----
Deputy McNamara is out of order.

Tá an t-am caite.
Next, we go to the Regional Group. Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick is sharing with Deputy Tóibín. I will, however, have to interrupt him after five and a half minutes to ask him to propose the adjournment because our time will be up.
Amendment No. 1 is in the names of Deputies Kerrane, Carthy and Martin Browne. Is there anyone to move this amendment?
You can if you want to, yes.
Amendment No. 2 arises out of committee proceedings. Amendments Nos. 2 to 7, inclusive, are related and will be taken together. We really do need Deputies Kerrane, Carthy and Martin Browne, but I do not know where they are. Does anyone want to address these amendments?
It is not normal to adjourn.
I expect the people who table amendments to be here. That is why we have Whips. They are supposed to arrange for their people to be here.
Amendment No. 2 arises out of committee proceedings. Amendments Nos. 2 to 7, inclusive, are related and can be discussed together. Does Deputy Kerrane wish to discuss amendments Nos. 2 to 7?
That is most unfortunate.
How do you partially dispense a prescription? You either dispense it or you do not.
Bizarre, I would think.
I am just curious.
Amendments Nos. 8 and 9 arise from Committee Stage and are related and may be discussed together.
Please do not go there.
I have the letter. I have read it and I have read the blacks. I do not think it is a crime to be accused of being an organic farmer.
However, there is a valid question as to how somebody would know a person was an organic farmer.
