I call Deputy McDonald.
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.

I call Deputy McDonald.
Okay, but we are running out of time.
Thank you, a Thaoisigh. I call Deputy Bríd Smith.
I thank the Deputy.
The Deputy's concern for Deputy Griffin is most moving and touching.
Good stuff.
I thank the Deputies. We can have the conversation again.
Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.
I thank the Deputy for raising that important matter.
A little bit of history being made.
Well, we are making a little bit of history anyway in dispatching the committee to Bere Island.
We have a lot of questions in this group. Can we keep the supplementaries to one minute?
Behave yourselves, Members.
Order, please.
Please.
Deputies, please.
Thank you, Deputy.
Time is up.
Could we all calm down a little, please? We are going to hear now from the Rural Independents. They are all going to talk to us.
Hard to follow that.
