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.

Does the Minister wish to comment?
We are practically out of time.
The time permitted for this debate having expired, I am required to put the following question in accordance with an order of the Dáil of 6 July: "That in respect of each of the sections undisposed of, the section is hereby agreed to in Committee, the Title is hereby agreed to in Committee, and the Bill is accordingly reported to the House without amendment, Fourth Stage is hereby completed, and the Bill is hereby passed."
The Bill will now be sent to the Seanad. My thanks to everybody involved in this piece of business.
Amendments Nos. 1, 3, 5 and 6 are related and will be discussed together.
Amendments Nos. 2, 4 and 7 are related and may be discussed together.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to amendment No. 1, in the name of Deputy O'Rourke, to the motion regarding the post office network. Today on the question, "That the amendment be made", a division was claimed and, in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
Time is up, Deputy, please.
Time is up, Deputy, please.
I thank the Taoiseach. The time is up.
You are having a cross-debate between the two of you.
If the remarks came through the Chair, it would be easier for me to manage it.
Taoiseach, what I would say to Members is that if everybody addressed their remarks through the Chair-----
-----then we would have less of this going on and I would be in a better position to deal with it.
If people want to talk directly to each other one-to-one, it is rather difficult to deal with.
Are we finished with that question? Yes. I call on Deputy Boyd Barrett.
Time is up.
Are the proposed arrangements for this week's business agreed to?
I ask the Deputy to please adhere to the rules of the House, please. The Deputy had one minute for this and is way over time now.
