Follow that, Minister.
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.

Follow that, Minister.
The Tánaiste, without interruption, please.
Deputy Doherty, without interruption, please.
I invite the Minister for Health.
Seanad Éireann has passed the Garda Síochána (Amendment) Bill 2022 without amendment.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37A and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputies Denis Naughten and Michael Fitzmaurice - to discuss flood alleviation works at Lough Funshinagh, County Roscommon; (2) Deputy Bernard Durkan - to discuss the retention of a teacher at Kilshanroe school and Maynooth education campus, County Kildare; (3) Deputy Michael McNamara - to discuss the refusal of consent for operation of a childcare facil…
Thank you. That concludes consideration of the motion regarding energy security. We must now put the question on the Regional Group amendment to the Government amendment. The question is that the amendment to the amendment be made. Is that agreed?
This is the Regional Group amendment to the Government amendment.
The amendment to the amendment is not agreed.
I am sorry. If the Regional Group Deputies are not here, they are not putting the amendment. It is not agreed.
Is the Government amendment agreed to?
In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the vote, insofar as it has been called, is deferred until the voting block later today.
Please, Deputy.
Deputy, there is an honourable and long tradition------
-----that we do not become involved in the analysis of or debate the statements of the President.
We will stop the clock, then. I am not saying we cannot make reference to the President but we do not need to quote him. We all know what the man said, so please.
Sorry, Deputy.
It is not incredible. There is a separation of powers. In this Chamber we do not drag the President into any controversy. Please respect that.
Referencing is fine, but the Deputy is trying to elaborate on that.
It is not for anyone in here to elaborate. Let me be very clear about that. The same rule applies to everybody.
