Thank you. The Deputy is way over time now, 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.

I do not want to be negative, Deputy, but she is over time. Please.
The next contributor is Deputy Mythen.
Please Deputy, one speaker.
I call Deputy Paul Murphy, who is sharing with Deputies Gino Kenny and Barry.
Deputy Tóibín is sharing with Deputy Naughten.
Deputy Michael Collins is sharing time with his colleagues.
I am sure we can put this as the number one item on the agenda for a decision at the first meeting of the Business Committee after Christmas.
I caution the Deputy. We need to be careful about making allegations certainly against named families, even though they may be beneficial owners of companies or corporations. We just need to tread warily, please.
This is quite a remarkable event. It is the second time this week that we have concluded Leaders' Questions in the allocated time.

We are out of time so I will go to the three remaining Deputies for 30-second questions. I call Deputy Tóibín.

You cannot kill a bad thing.
