Deputy Andrews is not happy with the doggy pictures.
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 Andrews is not happy with the doggy pictures.
I thank all Members present and that concludes Questions on Policy and Legislation.
Before proceeding to the next item, I ask Members to join me in offering a warm céad míle fáilte to our colleagues from the Canadian Parliament. While the delegation to the country is led by James Maloney MP, today's visit to the House and Chamber is led by the Honourable Senator Mohamed-Iqbal Ravalia of the Canada-Ireland Interparliamentary Group. They are here to meet their counterparts Deputies Stanton and O'Reilly and Senator Malcolm Byrne. We hope they will find their visit to the country useful. It is a furth…
I thank everyone who tabled Topical Issue Matters for today and this week and the Minister of State for being here to deal comprehensively with them.
The Select Committee on Transport and Communications has completed its consideration of the following Supplementary Estimate for Public Services for the service of the year ending on 31 December 2024: Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications.
The report was to have been presented by the Chair of the committee, Deputy Michael Healy-Rae, but he has asked Deputy Nolan to attend in his stead. She has 15 minutes. She needs to move the motion. After that, we will hear the response of the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan. We have two hours in total for this matter.
I am at a loss. It is normally the Chair or Vice Chair of a committee who presents its report. That is absolutely correct. I was not aware, until I came here today, that neither the Chair - I do not even know who the Vice Chair-----
Deputy Kenny should then move the motion and speak first. We will then come to Deputy Nolan.
I apologise. I did not even realise Deputy Kenny was Vice Chair of the committee. The floor is his.
I ask Members to take a maximum of one minute for a question and less if possible for an answer.
That is three for the price of one. You are only supposed to be speaking on one issue.
Is that agreed?
Can a date be given?
Is the motion agreed?
The Select Committee on Social Protection, Community and Rural Development and the Islands has completed its consideration of the following Supplementary Estimate for Public Services for the service of the year ending on 31 December 2024: Vote 37. The Select Committee on Health has completed its consideration of the following Supplementary Estimate for Public Services for the service of the year ending on 31 December 2024: Vote 38.
I thank Deputy Nash. For another Louth perspective, I call Deputy Fergus O'Dowd.
The Deputy might try tabling an amendment to the Bill to address those interesting matters.
I thank Deputy Ó Murchú. He is a man of great versatility. Deputy Boyd Barrett is next.
Amendments Nos. 2 to 4, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together.
Thank you for championing the cause. Does anyone else wish to speak on this matter? No.
