Congratulations on putting forward your first Bill.
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.

Congratulations on putting forward your first Bill.
May it be the first of many. We move now to No. 42.
The Minister has up to 30 minutes to make his concluding remarks in response to the debate.
We now return to the first item, which is to discuss the increase in antisocial behaviour, specifically in Dublin city. This has been tabled by Deputies Jim O’Callaghan and Gannon.
I thank both Deputies for raising this important matter.
We now move to the final matter, which is tabled by Deputy Ó Murchú. He wishes to discuss the lack of home carers and the impact this is having on families.
I thank the Minister of State for being here to deal with this matter.
One wonders, if the main problem is with personnel, whether it will be possible to magic them up out of somewhere. Will work permits be an issue in this area?
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Is the Minister of State sharing time with Deputy Leddin?
One Deputy, please.

Insofar as a division has been called, it is deferred until the voting block this evening.
Time is up, Deputy McDonald, please.
