Please allow the Taoiseach to speak without interruption.
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.

Please allow the Taoiseach to speak without interruption.
Deputy Boyd Barrett, please.
A Thaoisigh, if I may interrupt, we are way over time on this question, so if we could maybe just-----
I know, but-----
Shall we take an extra five minutes?
We will take an extra five minutes. That is agreed. If people would stop interrupting the Taoiseach, we might be able to get more questions answered.
I have to interrupt now.
No. Sorry, a Thaoisigh.
Members keep interrupting the Taoiseach, which has held up the whole process. We have reached the end of the additional allocated time for these questions. We need, in fairness to the other questioners, to move on to Question No. 11.
I am afraid the time is up.
I thank the Taoiseach. The time is up.
Unfortunately, we do not have any time for the Taoiseach to respond, so perhaps he might correspond with Deputy Kelly on those important questions.
All right. The Deputy can proceed.
In accordance with an order of the House, we must suspend now until 6.30 p.m., when we will take Committee and Remaining Stages.
The amendments submitted under section 1 have been ruled out of order.
Are any other Members offering on the section?
Yes.
Yes. We cannot debate amendments that are out of order.
I am loath to interrupt, but there are only 16 minutes remaining.
Of course.
