I am sorry. Deputy Gould is indicating at the back of the auditorium. I did not see him.
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.

I am sorry. Deputy Gould is indicating at the back of the auditorium. I did not see him.
I thank Deputy Gould. I call the Minister to respond. I am told my procedure is wrong.
No, we will.
I thought it might be better for Deputy Boyd Barrett to hear the Minister's response.
That is what the Minister is going to do. He will respond.
Would the Minister like to respond to the debate?
Be orderly, please.
The last word on this group of amendments is Deputy Boyd Barrett's.
No, I am sorry. Amendment No. 13 was included in this grouping. The Minister can move it later but there is no time to discuss it.
I am sorry-----
The procedure is applied equally to everyone.
The Minister has spoken twice. He may not speak again. He may move amendment No. 13 when the time comes.
Maybe they will not. Deputy Boyd Barrett, we are waiting with bated breath.
The Deputy's point is understood.
Amendments Nos. 14, 23, 34, 40, 42, 60, 61 and 103 are related and may be discussed together.
I apologise for interrupting but the Minister wishes to speak.
I thank the Minister. The amendments will be made. Apologies to Deputy Boyd Barrett but he has the floor on amendment No. 14 and the grouped amendments.
The time is up Deputy.
Thank you very much Deputy.
There is a time pressure now, Deputy Ó Broin.
