The Taoiseach's time is up.
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.

The Taoiseach's time is up.
We will have to stick to a minute per Member to get everybody in. I call Deputy Barry.
We need to move on to Question No. 16.
Time is up. We need to move to Question No. 16.
I am sorry. We do not have time.
It is the rules of the House.
For the information of the House, I should point out that the distinguished gentleman sitting in front of the Chair, Mr. Brian Hickey, who has given exemplary and outstanding service to these Houses over many years, is sitting in the Chamber with us for the last time. He is due to retire tomorrow and I am sure all Members of the House join with me in wishing him and his family long years of health and happiness in the new phase of their lives.

One speaker.
We move now to Deputies Boyd Barrett and Barry who are sharing their time.
We will not be tempted to respond to that.
I thank the Minister.
I call Deputy Shortall.
The Minister without interruption.
The report of the Business Committee has been circulated and can be taken as read. Are the proposed arrangements for the week's business agreed to?
I think I have selected a Topical Issue matter on that, so the House will be able to have that debate.
I do not know if the Minister wishes to offer more time to debate the matter.
The Business Committee will try to agree a date on Thursday for the debate on the Amnesty report to take place in this House.
Good.
Is the proposal for the week's business is now agreed to? Agreed.
