Thank you very much.
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.

Thank you very much.
Thank you, Deputy. You have made your point.
It now falls to us to consider the three amendments which are in order. Amendment No. 12 has been moved by Deputy Doherty. How stands the amendment, Deputy Doherty?
No. We are going to deal with the three amendments now.
The Deputy made that point earlier.
No, the Deputy may not.
We can acknowledge that the Deputy is here, that he was in the building and that he wishes to participate but I am afraid the debate is over. All that falls to us to do now is to deal with the three amendments. We are not going to have a debate on any of them.
The amendments were routinely ruled out of order because they fell foul of Standing Order 211.
No. This is a legislative assembly that must act in accordance with our own Standing Orders that we have adopted. If amendments are tabled but are contrary to the provisions of the Standing Order, they must be ruled out of order.
Could Members leaving the Chamber please do so quietly? Business is being transacted. Deputy Ó Laoghaire has moved amendment No. 2.
Am I to take it that the Deputy is not pressing the amendment now?
Time is up, Deputy, please.
Time is up, Deputy, please.
Deputy, please. The time is way up.
I thank the Taoiseach. The time is up.
Time is up.
Taoiseach, please. Deputy McDonald, please.
Deputies, please.
It is, but we cannot dictate the nature of the reply------
-----as Deputy McDonald is well aware. I appeal to Deputies, please, to adhere to the time limit. They are well aware of what the time limit is and, when they are asked to desist, please, would they desist?
