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.

Is the Order of Business for the week agreed to? Agreed.
The time is up.

The time is up Minister.
Deputies, please.
I call Deputy O'Rourke, who is sharing time with Deputies Cronin and O'Reilly.
Deputy Mattie McGrath is sharing time with Deputies Collins, O'Donoghue and Healy-Rae.

The point is made.
Time is up.
