Amendments Nos. 7 and 8 are related and may be discussed together.
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.

Deputy Carthy has asked me to request that the Minister of State deal with the question. I am conscious, when he raises the matter, that every day when I look at parliamentary questions, I am regularly reminded that it is not for Ministers to interpret the law. The procedures of the House dictate that it is the courts that interpret the law and that it is not the role of this or any other Minister to interpret the law. I thank the Deputy for asking me to clarify that matter.
For the information of Members, there is a guillotine in respect of this Bill. We have 43 minutes remaining and there are 101 amendments outstanding. We can spend all 43 minutes talking about this if we want to. That is fine; that is the Deputies' prerogative.

There is a difference between a question, a rhetorical question and an inference. I take it the Deputy is not making-----
-----any inference that Deputy McAuliffe has behaved in any way that was untoward or irregular.
Before taking Leaders' Question, I ask the House to give a warm welcome to four Members of the Verkhovna Rada: Ms Lesia Vasylenko MP, leader of the delegation; Mr. Rostyslav Tistyk MP, Servant of the People Party; Ms Alyona Shkrum MP, All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" Party; and Mr. Dmytro Natalukha MP, Servant of the People Party. You are most welcome.
