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.

Minister, please do not-----
Do not encourage the Deputies to be disorderly, please, Minister. We will go to Deputy Martin Browne, who will share with Deputies Ellis, Quinlivan and Buckley.
Thank you.
I thank the Tánaiste and call Deputy Doherty.
The time is up.
I thank the Tánaiste. This time is up.
I thank the Tánaiste. Time is up.
Can we return to a little order please? The format is that people put questions to the Tánaiste and the Tánaiste is given the courtesy of-----
-----being allowed to answer the questions.
Has Deputy Gould a problem?
I did not. I said-----
I said the procedure is that questions are asked, courtesy is shown and people are given an opportunity to respond. The Deputy might not like the response but the response will be given. We will hear Deputy Paul Murphy.
The Tánaiste should address his replies through the Chair and Deputy Paul Murphy should hold his whisht until the questions have been answered.
I thank the Tánaiste.
The River Deel.
We all agree with the Deputy in extending our sympathy to the Loftus family.
Good.
We are getting to that age.
The Minister of State, Deputy Niall Collins, has informed me that he wishes to make a personal statement to the House pursuant to Standing Order 56.
Please. We do not need any commentary.
