We are way over time, Deputy.
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.

We are way over time, Deputy.
Deputy Canney is sharing time with Deputy Verona Murphy. Or rather Deputy Verona Murphy is sharing time with Deputy Canney.
You do not have anything for me with you today, do you?
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Is the amendment withdrawn?
Amendments Nos. 1, 2, 10, 20, 22, 23, 29, 30, 32, 33, and 36 to 44, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together by agreement.
These are all technical amendments. Does anyone want to speak on these amendments?
No, we are speaking about the amendments as grouped, not on the Bill in general.
I am loath to interrupt. I really am. I apologise for this but the Deputy is making a Second Stage speech, in which she is talking about the principles of the Bill. That was done on Second Stage. In this instance, we are beyond Report Stage and are dealing with amendments from the Seanad. All we may discuss are the actual amendments rather than the generalities or principles.
If the Deputy can tell us how it relates to the amendments, all the better. Then we can do business.
No. To date, the Deputy has not dealt with the amendments; she has been making a general statement.
Deputy Ó Broin, please.
Deputy, please.
Is that agreed?
I can inform Deputy McDonald that a reasoned amendment has been submitted and it is being processed in the normal way in accordance with normal procedure.
It is being processed.
Deputies have one minute for each question.
I thank the Taoiseach.
If this is going to continue, I will suspend the sitting. It is a basic tenet of proper parliamentary debate that Deputies listen to what others have to say. Can we do that please?
We are now going to Deputy Conway-Walsh, sharing with Deputies Kerrane, Ryan and Browne. I hope there will be no strategic heckling.
