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.

On Question No. 90, I call Deputy Cullinane on behalf of Deputy Ó Laoghaire.
I thank the Ministers, Deputies and members of the House staff for their co-operation. Some 25 minutes later than scheduled, that concludes the day's business.
Please.
Please, Deputy.
Please, Deputy Doherty. You have asked your question and you got your answer.
I have two brief announcements to make before we proceed.
