The Deputy's time is up, but he is passionate about the issue of bouncy castles.
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.

Deputies, please. That concludes questions on promised legislation.
Is that agreed to? Agreed.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

Gabhaim míle buíochas leis an Teachta.
Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Teachta.
Níor úsáid Páirtí an Lucht Oibre a chuid ama. Teastaíonn ón Teachta Creed nóiméad nó dó a úsáid as sin.
Ráitis bhríomhair agus suntasacha a bhí ansin. An rud iontach atá ann ná gur chualamar Baill ag úsáid na Gaeilge inniu agus i rith na seachtaine nár úsáid na Gaeilge anseo cheana féin. Tá súil agam go leanfaidh sé ar aghaidh mar sin.
Cuirtear tús inniu le Seachtain na Gaeilge, an fhéile idirnáisiúnta Ghaeilge lena ndéantar ceiliúradh ar ár dteanga agus ár gcultúr dúchais. Leanann Seachtain na Gaeilge ar aghaidh ón gcéad lá de Mhárta go dtí an seachtú lá déag agus, le linn an ama sin, d’iarrfainn ar na Comhaltaí Gaeilge a úsáid sna himeachtaí aon am is féidir libh. Ba mhaith liom an deis seo a ghlacadh freisin chun a chur in iúl do na Comhaltaí go bhfuil grúpaí stiúrtha bunaithe anois don Dáil agus don Seanad d’fhonn úsáid na Gaeilge sna himeach…

The Deputy is way over time. That matter got great debate at the Business Committee. I call Deputy Joan Collins.
The time is up. I call Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn.
