Deputy, please.
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, please.
Sula dtéimid ar aghaidh leis an gcéad phíosa gnó eile, on behalf of the House, I extend a very warm welcome to Her Excellency, Ms Alison Johnstone, who is the presiding officer of the Scottish Parliament. Through her, we send our good wishes to our many friends in Holyrood. It is great to have her with us.
Deputies, please.
Deputy Doherty, please.
Please, Deputy Doherty, let the Tánaiste speak.
The time is up.
Deputy Doherty, please, resume your seat.
Resume your seat, Deputy Doherty, please. Please treat the House with some respect and adhere to-----
Please, treat the House with some respect. I call Deputy Bacik.
We cannot have a conversation about it across the House.
We should not question the undoubted capacity and abilities of Dr. Tony Holohan.

I thank her for the outstanding, diligent and committed work she did here. She was a lady of the utmost integrity, ability and dedication. We are sorry to see her go. I certainly am. We wish her well in the future. It is significant that in the 100 years of this House's existence, she has been the first female Superintendent.
She did an outstandingly good job. Mr. Noel Murphy is going to take on the responsibilities of Superintendent. Noel is in the voting lobby. He is very well known and very well liked and is highly respected by all the parliamentary community, not least for the outstanding work he has been doing in committees, including the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence, and the North-South parliamentary body. We wish him well in the duties he is taking on. The position of Captain will be occupied until further notice by L…
Last but by no means least is Deputy Munster.
I thank Deputy Durkan for that important intervention. I think the key message is to hasten slowly and be cautious. I note the Deputy talked about us constantly learning. I have been learning from him for nearly 37 years, and I still have a lot to learn. I call the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, to respond, although not to that comment.
