Deputy, please.
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.

Deputy, please.
Deputy McNamara is out of order.
Thank you, a Thaoisigh. We are moving on.
That concludes questions on promised legislation with six Deputies unfortunately not reached.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
We have two further questioners and we need to allow time for the Taoiseach to respond. I call Deputy Barry now followed by Deputy Paul Murphy.
I ask that Deputy Murphy might be brief, please.
The Taoiseach has four minutes to respond now.
I thank the Taoiseach. We have to move to Question No. 5. We are out of time.
The Taoiseach has two minutes for a response.
I thank the Taoiseach. We need to move on to Question No. 11.
It would be much better if the Taoiseach and the Deputy did not have a one-to-one exchange. Our time is up on this block of questions.
No, I am sorry. I will tell the Taoiseach why. Deputies posing questions need to realise that they need to ask questions rather than make lengthy statements.
The Taoiseach cannot really be expected to respond to lengthy statements if Deputies do not leave him the time to do so. It is not fair to him or to the process.
Let us go on to Question No. 11.
I wish to advise the House of the following in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputies Pat Buckley and David Stanton - to discuss the lack of school transport places in east Cork; (2) Deputy Martin Kenny - to discuss the funding of suicide prevention services in the north-west; (3) Deputy Louise O'Reilly - to discuss supports for women during perimenopause and menopause; (4) Deputy Alan Farrell - to discuss greater Garda support ahead of t…
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Deputy O'Rourke's time is up. I call Deputy Gannon.
Deputies McGrath and Nolan-----
