I do not see how that is a matter for Questions on Policy or Legislation.
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, please.
That is not a point of order.
I do not know what that is.
Deputy Collins, as I understand it, but I have not read it yet, has written to me seeking to make a personal statement. I will have to consider that and see what time can be made available in the context of the week's schedule.
It might be. If that is what the Deputy wants, we can consider that.
A personal statement never includes questions. If the House wants these matters to change, it should change the Standing Orders. All I can do is implement the Standing Orders as produced and as they have been here of long standing.
People will be made aware.
This is a motion without debate.
As a vote has been called, it is deferred until this evening.
I thank the Deputy.
I call Deputy Shanahan, who is sharing time with Deputy Tóibín.
That now concludes statements on the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. I congratulate everyone who partook.
Is the amendment being pressed?
Amendment No. 8 has been ruled out of order.
Amendments Nos. 9 to 11, inclusive are grouped together, and may be discussed together.
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 25 April: "That the amendments set down by the Minister for Justice and not disposed of, including those in respect of which recommittal would, in the normal course, be required are hereby made to the Bill, Fourth Stage is hereby completed and the Bill is hereby passed."
The Bill will not be concluded today.
I appreciate that but we are actually running ahead of schedule.
Amendment No. 1 is out of order.
