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.

Well, you might wait for the answer now.

That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation. My thanks to those Members who co-operated in trying to get through the business.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy.
Deputy Sherlock is next. He is champing at the bit, so the floor is his.
We now have 20 minutes for a question-and-answer session. Deputy O’Donoghue is offering, but he does not need to use all 20 minutes.
In fairness to the Minister of State, he can only respond on behalf of the Government rather than on behalf of the people of County Limerick.
We are fortunate to have so many robust contributors from County Limerick.
The Minister of State might respond to that and then conclude.
I congratulate Deputies on that work.
I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Ossian Smyth. I invite him to move the motion and make his opening speech.
The Taoiseach, without interruption, please.
Time is up Taoiseach, please.
We are way over time, Taoiseach.
