Please, 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.

Please, Deputy.
Please, Deputy.
I call Deputy Bacik.
I thank the Taoiseach and all the Members. I think it is the first time we have ever completed Questions on Policy or Legislation within the allocated time.
The next slot is a Social Democrats slot. I do not know if Deputy Pringle is joining the Social Democrats but he is taking their slot, I understand. Is that correct?
That is fair enough. That is what we were advised but if the Deputy is not taking it-----
That being the case, I ask the Deputy to move his amendment to the motion.
Deputy Pringle has moved his amendment. That creates the situation where none of the other amendments can be moved until after the voting block today. At the voting block, Deputy Pringle's amendment will be dealt with, if a division is called. Thereafter, irrespective of the outcome, the other amendments can be taken in the order in which they have been tabled.
We now move to the Regional Group.
Deputy Pringle moved the first amendment. No other amendment can be moved or considered until the voting block later this evening. It will be at that point that it will be necessary for people to be present to deal with it. I now call Deputy Berry from the Regional Group.
You are over time.
By way of information, we will launch a photographic exhibition in Leinster House 2000 tomorrow showing scenes from Bucha, which I visited last year. As agreed by the Business Committee last week, we will also have a minute's silence tomorrow. The ambassador of Ukraine to Ireland, H.E. Larysa Gerasko, will be present.
In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the weekly divisions this evening - and quite late this evening by the looks of things - at which time the other amendments can also be dealt with.
I apologise to the Deputy, but the time has elapsed. He has 14 and a half minutes remaining.
Amendment Nos. 1 to 5, inclusive, 7, 8, 11 to 20, inclusive, 22 to 26, inclusive, 28 to 30, inclusive, 33 and 35 to 41, inclusive, are related and may be discussed together.
There has been a fierce outbreak of agreement.
The Minister of State is saying the amendment was recommitted via the Seanad.
Amendment Nos. 42 and 43 are connected, so the Minister of State might address the two of them.
A message will be sent to Seanad Éireann acquainting it that Dáil Éireann has agreed to amendments Nos. 1 to 46, inclusive, made by Seanad Éireann to the Communications Regulation and Digital Hub Development Agency (Amendment) Bill 2022.
Not that I am aware of.
