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.

Please, Deputy. You are taking up other Members' time.
Please, you are taking up other Members' time. I call Deputy Bacik.
I thank the Deputy.
Okay, the Deputy's point is made.
We have only a minute for the question.
We do not really need------
Right.
As we are out of time, I will take 30-second questions from the two remaining Deputies.
I suspect getting in the way of a rutting stag might be more dangerous than being in the way of a canvassing politician. I thank the Deputies for raising those matters.
Comhghairdeas, a Teachta. Is the Bill opposed?
I ask the Deputy to move that Second Stage be taken in Private Members' time.
Is that agreed?
The Select Committee on Health has completed its consideration of the Public Health (Tobacco) (Amendment) Bill 2024, and has made no amendments thereto.
I call Deputy Joan Collins, who is sharing time with Deputy Pringle.
Next are Deputies Canney and Verona Murphy, who are sharing time.
I thank the Minister of State. To conclude, I call Deputy Buckley to speak and he is sharing with Deputies Ó Murchú and Tully.
That motion is agreed. Congratulations to all involved.
I thank the Tánaiste. We move now to People Before Profit-Solidarity and Deputy Mick Barry.
I wish to say something before the Tánaiste comes in. This is the second Deputy to criticise the Taoiseach. The Taoiseach will be here next week I suspect. If Members have matters to confront him with, they are more than welcome to do so then. I think it would be much better to voice that criticism to him directly than to ask somebody else to answer for his actions.
