I thank the Taoiseach. I call Deputy Berry.
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.

I thank the Taoiseach. I call Deputy Berry.
We will have to cut the time for contributions to 30 seconds to fit everyone in. From the Rural Independent Group, I call Deputy Mattie McGrath.
That sounds like a "Yes" or "No" question.
I thank the Minister. I call Deputy Joan Collins from the Independent Group.
Deputy Gino Kenny is not present. I call Deputy Munster.
That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation.
There are many questioners present, but they will each have just one minute.
The Taoiseach has a little over three minutes in which to respond.
I thank the Taoiseach. We have to proceed to Question No. 11.
We have to move to Question No. 11. We need to talk about how we handle all these things because it is not satisfactory. Members ask the Taoiseach many questions and then do not give him time to answer. When discussing Dáil reform, we might consider how to improve the system. It is much better than it was ten years ago but it is far from satisfactory.
I ask Deputy Whitmore to introduce her Question No. 134, which seeks a breakdown of the specific amount of funding provided to support domestic violence services.
It is only coming up because those with questions before the Deputy are not here.
Will the Minister provide a written response?
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy. The time is up.
I thank the Tánaiste.
No, Deputy. There is a separation of powers in this State. We cannot and will not become involved in criticism of the DPP or the Courts Service. Resume your seat.
Resume your seat, Deputy.
Resume your seat. You are totally out of order.
You are totally out of order. The Tánaiste should please not go near that question.
