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.

We move now to a Sinn Féin slot. Deputy O'Rourke is sharing with his colleagues, Deputies Andrews, Mairéad Farrell, Ellis and Clarke. Is that agreed? Agreed.
The Deputy has none left because he is over time.
We will give Deputy Leddin a little extra time.
As Deputy Durkan was waxing lyrical, I was thinking that it was not a very wise organisation that decided to take him on in County Kildare. I call Deputy Leddin.
Great song.
I thank Deputy O'Donoghue and I call now Deputy Ó Murchú.
I call now Deputy Joan Collins sharing with Deputy McNamara.
I thank Deputy Collins.
The Minister of State’s time is up. We go now to the proposer of the Bill. I call Deputy Clarke.
No, I am afraid it is possible to have only one speaker.
I thank Deputies Clarke and Mairéad Farrell for bringing forward this Private Members' Bill and the Minister of State for being here to deal with it.
A division has been called. In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time on Wednesday, 9 February 2022.
The Deputy does not have any time left.
Deputies Pádraig O'Sullivan, Burke and Creed are sharing time.
It was very creative of the Deputy getting the leaving certificate into this debate.
The next slot is for the Chairman of the relevant committee but he is not offering. I call Deputy Murnane O'Connor.
Would the Deputy go back?
Amendment No. 1, in the name of Deputies Michael Collins, Nolan, Danny Healy-Rae, Michael Healy-Rae, Mattie McGrath and O'Donoghue arises out of committee proceedings. Amendments Nos. 1, 4 and 13 are related and will be discussed together. We have two hours and the quicker we can deal with these amendments, the quicker we can get through them all.
The Deputy's time is up.
I thank the Deputy.
