Deputy Doherty’s party leader is asking the questions; not him.
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 Doherty’s party leader is asking the questions; not him.
Deputy, please stop interrupting.
Time is up.
Just a moment, it would be helpful if the remarks were addressed through the Chair rather than directly to the Deputy because she keeps responding and interrupting the Taoiseach. I wish that would not happen. Would Deputy Shortall please not continue? Would all Deputies not interrupt when a Minister or the Taoiseach is attempting to respond?
Please, Deputy.
Deputy Naughten is next on my list but he is not here. Does somebody else from the Regional Independent Group want to take his slot? No. That is odd. We will proceed to the Independent Group. I call Deputy Pringle.
Are the arrangements for this week's business agreed to?
Thank you Deputy. It is just one minute.
To clarify, the Business Committee, in considering the brutal murder of the Al Jazeera journalist and the assault on her funeral, agreed we would also include, in any debate we would have, the murder in Ukraine of the Irish citizen journalist.
Perhaps the Minister, Deputy Coveney, could clarify.
We are way over time now. Will the Taoiseach address Deputy McDonald's question? Where are we with regard to that debate?
We are quite clear----
We are way over time. Are the proposed arrangements for this week's business agreed to? Agreed. I call Deputy McDonald who has one minute.
The time is up, Deputy.
Deputy, please. The time is up.
Please, Deputy.
This is not your question, Deputy Ó Broin.
Try not to be provoked.
Deputies, please. We are way over time and people are not going to be called at the end. Will Members please have a bit of order? I call Deputy Bacik.
The time is up, Deputy.
