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.

The Minister, without interruption please.
The Minister, without interruption.
I thank the Minister.
I thank the Minister. We move now to Deputy Verona Murphy.
The Minister, without interruption.
Before I call the Minister, and notwithstanding the fact that people can be angry and frustrated by events, we should try to adhere to the use of proper parliamentary language. I call the Minister.
It has been agreed that the report of the Business Committee will be taken as read. Are the proposed arrangements for next week's business agreed to?
Are the proposals for this week's business agreed to?
If you wish to.
In order to get clarification, is part of the problem here the lack of availability of the amendments at this stage?
Are the proposed arrangements agreed to?
Mention was made there of the role of the Bills Office in preparing this legislation. I should point out it was 5.10 a.m. this morning when the Bills Office and Rannóg an Aistriúcháin completed their work in preparation for dealing with this Bill this week, having worked through the night.
We will move to questions on promised legislation and I call Deputy Conway-Walsh.
Hear, hear. Can the Minister help in this regard?
I thank the Minister. There are three Deputies in the Chamber remaining. If they take 30 seconds each we can take those three questions. Deputy Collins will be first.
I ask the Minister for a very brief response to each of those questions.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
