Deputy Boyd Barrett is sharing time with Deputy Barry.
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 Boyd Barrett is sharing time with Deputy Barry.
There is no equality in the sharing.
It seems to be swinging all the way.
With the time permitted for this debate having expired, I am required to put the following question in accordance with an Order of the Dáil of 9 May: "That the amendment set down by the Minister for Health and not disposed of is hereby made to the Bill, Fourth Stage is hereby completed and the Bill is hereby passed."
We concluded on the last occasion having reached amendment No. 7, in the name of Deputy McNamara. Amendments Nos. 7, 10 and 12 are related and are to be taken together. I ask Deputy McNamara to move amendment No. 7 and address the cluster.
No.
I thank the Minister.
It is hard to follow that.
While Members take their designated seats, I wish to bring their attention to the fact that the wearing of political emblems in the House is prevented and precluded under Standing Orders. It should not happen.
We will move to amendment No. 14. I have been repeatedly advised that amendment No. 13 is out of order and that is why we will not be taking it. Amendment No. 14 is very much in order and I call on Deputy Kerrane to move it.
Lest the Members have not been confused by all of that, the clerk advises me that I should have put all of this in context, which of course I should have done. I should have told Members that amendment No. 14 arises from committee proceedings. Amendment Nos. 14, amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 14 to amendment No. 4 to amendment No. 14, inclusive, 15, 16, 19 and 25 are related. Amendment No. 15 is a logical alternative to amendment No. 14. Amendments Nos. 16, 19 and 25 are consequential on amendment No. 14. Amendme…
No. It is unintelligible, I am afraid. Anyway, I did not write it, thanks be to God.
I apologise for interrupting but the time for the debate has elapsed. I ask the Deputy to adjourn his contribution.
I must now deal with a deferred division relating to amendment No. 1 in the name of the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications to the motion regarding support for household energy bills. On Wednesday, 3 May, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
I must now deal with a deferred division relating to amendment No. 1 in the name of the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to the motion regarding planning and rural housing. Earlier today, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
A Thaoisigh, I understand that you wish to propose a minute's silence.
The Taoiseach is proposing a minute's silence to mark the sad passing of a former colleague, Derek Keating.
The time is up.
The time is up.
Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Aire Stáit as ucht na cuairteanna sin a thug sé inné.
