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.

Yes.
It is not in order to use such terminology. It would also be preferable not to accuse people of misleading the House, other than by way of substantive motion. Would Deputy Doherty care to withdraw the accusation of lying?
Deputy Barry asked me about CETA. All I can say is that I have full confidence in his group's representative on the Business Committee, even if he does not. I am sure nothing will be slipped through.
If Sinn Féin's very capable members on the Business Committee want to bring up that at the next meeting of the committee, it will get full and adequate consideration.
What would the Deputy like to take off the agenda for tomorrow?
I will undertake to consult the Business Committee after this session.
You might, but I will undertake to consult the Business Committee. After all of that, are the proposals for today's business agreed? Agreed. I will call Deputies on the Order of Business, with one minute for a question and one minute for an answer.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
I am sorry but we do not have time for a detailed discussion.
The Taoiseach to reply.
The time is up, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy. Your time is up.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
I call Deputy Barry.
The Deputy's time is up.
Please, Deputy. The time is up.
We are running out of time. I will take the questions from all the other Deputies if they confine them to 30 seconds each. Are they amenable to that?
I thank everybody for their co-operation.
