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.
No, please. This carry-on is not serving anyone's interest.

We move to the third important issue raised by Deputies Daly, O'Rourke and Martin Kenny. They wish to discuss the so-called "heavy gang" and the cases featured in the RTÉ "Crimes and Confessions" programme, which fascinated the nation, not least younger people who did not live through the period. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy James Browne, for being here to deal with this matter.

It is not acceptable to accuse any Member of the House of lying. I ask the Deputy to withdraw that claim.
Please withdraw the accusation of lying.
