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 appreciate that the Minister of State has given a lot of clarity in his response, but I still do not know what the ICML entity is. This is the party that is applying for this project and that is going to build it. What is this group?
I have never heard of it.
Could the Minister of State tell us about it, please?
I think we are making a bit of history. What the Minister of State is effectively saying to us is that a registered charity has a deal to access a piece of public land.
I did not get to that yet. It got the site from the National Concert Hall by whatever means. That has been arranged. It has gone to arbitration to get the OPW to build it. The OPW is the manager and curator of the State's facilities and properties. The arbitrator's decision is that the OPW must build it. That seems to imply the Government must also fund it. Would you not want to know before you start what you are going to be spending on it?
I suspect we will hear a great deal more about it. I thank the Minister of State for being here, and all the Members for raising the various matters.
We move to a very important report by the committee on agriculture and food.

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. Is é sin críoch leis na ráitis maidir le dul i ngleic le gach cineál foréigin bhaile, ghnéasaigh agus inscnebhunaithe. Tá gnó na maidine agus cuid mhaith de ghnó an lae déanta againn anois, mar sin, glacfaimid sos ar feadh 60 nóiméad.
The Minister of State's time is up.
Was it not?
The Minister of State is taking advantage of my gentle nature.
I am only joking.
We are going to have to stick to the time limits. Does anyone else want to come in on this?
