I suspect there is no shortage of laying hens in Kilgarvan.
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 suspect there is no shortage of laying hens in Kilgarvan.
I will take a final response from the Minister on this matter.
The Deputy does not because several people have come in on it.
I do have kind of a clue of the rules. There is time allocated for each question-----
I really do not want to have an argument with the Deputy about it.
The Deputy is on his feet fairly frequently.
All right, we will give the Deputy time. The Minister to respond.
I have been bearing with everyone else; I might as well bear with the Minister.
There are 15 seconds available to Deputy Boyd Barrett.
I am sorry, Deputy, but we are out of time. The Minister may make a brief response.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: Deputy Danny Healy-Rae - to discuss waiving the connection fee to the new Kilcummin sewerage scheme in County Kerry. Deputy Louise O'Reilly - to discuss children's disability network team waiting lists in Balbriggan. Deputy Paul Murphy - to discuss the mobile phone mast at Kingswood, Tallaght, and the issue of phone mast construction proceeding despite ongoin…
It seems to me that Deputy Paul Murphy's issue is the same, so perhaps we will hear from him and then call on the Minister of State to reply. I have given everyone two minutes, so that is perhaps the best way to deal with this.
We appreciate the Minister of State coming in to deal with a matter that is difficult and sensitive. On the questions Members have raised about appeals to An Bord Pleanála, all of us who have dealt with planning matters over many years have found without exception that where an appeal is made to the board against a development, that development may not proceed. I have never known of a development that could legitimately proceed. I have known some chancers who proceeded with developments but they were not too bother…
Time is up.
Deputy.
Please. I call Deputy Cairns.
I thank the Tánaiste.
We are way over time.
I thank the Tánaiste.
I call Deputy Pringle on behalf of the Independent Group.
