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.
I will suspend the House. Deputy Murphy should allow the Minister the courtesy of a response. Nobody interrupted the Deputy or anybody else.
Does the Deputy want me to suspend the House and we will hear no more?
Well then hold your whisht, please.
You are not going to shout down the House. Please behave with a bit of patience and a bit of decorum.
Deputies are wasting the time.
We are not talking about that.
Do I have to suspend the House?
The Deputy wants me to suspend the House.
I ask the Deputy to take his ease.
The next business was scheduled for 6 p.m. and we will suspend until then.
What the Deputy described latterly certainly was not creativity, insofar as patient movement is concerned. I do not know how you might describe it. I am sure the Rural Independent Group will have some light to cast on all of this.
It is perfectly reasonable that the three Ministers would engage with one another on matters that Members raise. Members engage with one another all the time in order to give the best possible response. I am not going to criticise the Ministers for engaging with one another on the very valid points that he raises.
Please, Deputy, be very careful. You are making an allegation against somebody who is not here-----
You are going beyond the political charge.
You are.
Please, Deputy. We will give you the additional time.
There is only one CEO. Thus, the person is readily identifiable.
It is not fair. You are a decent man. It is not fair to come into this House and name somebody who is not in a position to defend himself or herself before the House.
