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.

Members and all in attendance are asked to exercise personal responsibility to protect themselves and others from the risk of Covid-19. We move straight away to Leaders' Questions under Standing Order 36. Deputy McDonald, are you going to introduce some of the Christmas spirit today?
Time is up, Taoiseach. In fact, we are over time.
The time is up, Deputy.
That concludes Leaders' Questions.
It has been agreed that the report of the Business Committee will be taken as read. Are the proposed arrangements for this week's business agreed to?
Time is up.
At the Business Committee meeting, I suggested that it be taken as a Topical Issue matter. While we have already selected matters for today and tomorrow, we could look at giving a block of time during the Topical Issue debate on this matter, if that would be of help to Members, on Thursday.
We cannot have another debate on it.
Can this be done before Christmas?
The Taoiseach said "No."
You are over time, a Thaoisigh.
Time is up.
I did. I did not sow them myself, but they grew well.
Deputy Boyd Barrett is bringing down the curtain. I call Deputy Ward.
I hope they have brakes on them if they are new.
