All right. Thank you, 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.

All right. Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy.
I do not think there is anything in the budget about that-----
-----so can we please leave it at that?
All right. Thank you.
The point is made. The Taoiseach, please.
Thank you. That concludes a colourful Leaders' Questions.
I call the Government Chief Whip to move the proposal for this week's business, in accordance with Standing Order 35.
What is the Minister of State proposing at this point? Is she proposing that we suspend the House?
Yes, but I presume we will do that in the course of the day. You are not proposing-----
What about-----
Stop, please, Deputy.
Please, Deputy.
Please let me clarify with the Government Chief Whip.
Are you proposing that we suspend pending-----
Wait now. Do not all start at the one time. To be clear, the Chief Whip is proposing the Order of Business as originally put to us but she wants-----
-----the Business Committee to meet to amend it.
Okay.
The proposal is perfectly reasonable.
We will take Sinn Féin, please. I will take everybody in order.
