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.

We move now to First Stage of the Local Government (Amendment) (Transparency in Allocation of Funding) Bill 2021. Is this the Deputy's first Bill?
Congratulations on bringing it forward.
Is the Bill being opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
I ask Deputy Brady to give way to the Minister of State on a point of order.
I have a number of Deputies listed to speak. I do not know what is happening in the Whip's Office. It is not my responsibility.
That is an impressive shopping list.
Deputy Costello is sharing with Deputy Cathal Crowe. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Deputy Andrews mentioned the retirement of Superintendent Joe Gannon. It should be acknowledged here on the floor of the House that in his role in Pearse Street, he was of inordinate assistance and help to us over his period of service there. The House has reason to be grateful to him.
We will.
We move to the Rural Independent Group. I call Deputy Mattie McGrath.
Deputy, it is not in order to accuse the Taoiseach - the Tánaiste - of telling untruths.
I call Deputy Alan Kelly.
Please, Deputy.
As Deputies are aware, we have agreed that for the period of the emergency, the report of the Business Committee will be taken as read. Are the proposed arrangements for this week's business agreed to?
We cannot get into a debate on the matter now.
We do not need to get into those matters, Deputy, please.
In fairness, that matter was discussed at some length at the Business Committee. The Chief Whip undertook to engage with the Minister on the matter. I am sure we will come back to it.
Are the proposals for the week's business agreed to?
Wait, please. I call Deputy Cian O'Callaghan.
