The Deputy has made his point.
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 Deputy has made his point.
The Minister made a statement which the Deputy is not accepting. Are the arrangements now agreed? Agreed.
The Deputy's time is up.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Tánaiste and Deputies.
Is the Bill being opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

Iarraim ar an gcéad Ó Murchú eile, Deputy Catherine Murphy.
While it is good to have another Kildare Deputy present, we have Deputies Michael Collins and O'Sullivan to keep us in line on the fish issues.
Will you be ambitious, Minister?
No, the time is up. There is only one minute.
I apologise to the Minister of State but we are out of time. We must proceed to the next item on the agenda.
The second matter I have selected is from Deputies Niamh Smyth and Holly Cairns who wish to discuss when the current restrictions will be lifted so that partners can accompany women to maternity care appointments. The Minister of State, Deputy Anne Rabbitte, will respond to the matter. The Deputies have two minutes each.
It is fair to say that the female Oireachtas Members have the total support of the male Members in their demands.
I am sure the Minister of State will cast some light on that now.
I will facilitate you raising it here as often as you like.
Is the Minister of State also dealing with Topical Issue No. 4?
This important matter has been submitted by Deputies Duncan Smith, Ellis, Alan Farrell and O'Reilly. They wish to discuss reported changes in the national development plan, NDP, with regard to Metro North and DART+.
