Deputy, please.
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.

Deputy, please.
Deputy, you have asked the question. Let us move on.
I cut you off 20 seconds after you had used the minute allotted.
Deputy, please, there is no provision for supplementary questions on these matters.
We are out of time and three Deputies remain. I will take a 30-second question from each of them.
The time is up, Deputy. We cannot have a conversation.
We are finished, Deputy, please.
Please, Deputy, do not ignore the Chair.
I will not call the Deputy again if he continues to ignore the Chair.
That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation and whatever you are having yourself.
Is the Bill being opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
We have 11 minutes remaining and I suggest we will have one minute per question if we are to get through all of this business.
The Taoiseach is left with two minutes and 39 seconds to respond.
We can take a little more time on these as there are not as many questions. I call Deputy McDonald.
Deputy Tully is sharing time with Deputy Paul Donnelly.
Some of us never get there.
I call Deputy O'Dowd, who is sharing time with Deputies Ó Cathasaigh, Murnane O'Connor, Brendan Smith and Christopher O'Sullivan.
Deputy Andrews is sharing time with Deputy Gould.
Before Leaders' Questions this week, we will commemorate the anniversary of the events in Derry on 30 January 1972 known as Bloody Sunday. Today I propose we hold a minute's silence in remembrance of the 14 people who lost their lives as a result of Bloody Sunday, a major tragedy in the history of our island.
