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 thank the Deputy.
The Deputy is over time.
There are salient rulings in this area of allegations against the Attorney General. Although I am conscious that the matter the Deputy raises has been in the media, we should proceed with great care in terms of what we have to say here.

God knows, we are giving Garth Brooks great publicity anyway.
