I think Deputy Connolly is sharing with Deputy Pringle.
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 think Deputy Connolly is sharing with Deputy Pringle.
We move to Solidarity-People Before Profit. I understand Deputy Boyd Barrett is sharing with his colleague, Deputy Barry. Are they sharing equally?
The Deputies are not sharing equally, no?
Sorry, Deputy. I am being mischievous.
I thank the Deputy. That is a good point at which we might adjourn the debate. We will resume with the Deputy on the next occasion.
I thank Deputy Kenny for that thoughtful contribution. As his colleague is not here we will proceed with our next contributors, who are Deputy Canney sharing with Deputy Verona Murphy.
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. Tá an Teachta Howlin ag roinnt a chuid ama leis an Teachta Nash.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Neasa Hourigan - to discuss steps taken to prevent illegal evictions; (2) Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan - to discuss plans for St. Gabriel’s Special School in Bishopstown; (3) Deputy Dessie Ellis - to discuss the disparity in class size to teacher ratios between junior and senior primary schools; (4) Deputies Patrick Costello and Joan Collins - to disc…
To be helpful, it might be useful in future to indicate the Department the Deputy is directing the particular issue towards.
Not to worry.
The second matter has been tabled by Deputies Joan Collins and Costello, who wish to discuss joint applications for the hot meals scheme. The Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development, Deputy Joe O'Brien, is dealing with it. Is Deputy Joan Collins present?
The Minister of State said "the school" is receiving funding of more than €42,000 for 2020-21. Which school? Is it the school that is not getting the hot meal allowance?
One school is being funded for hot meals and the other is being funded for cold meals.
All right.
Is the Minister going to visit the sunny south east during the summer?
The two Deputies have made a compassionate and compelling case.
The car is on its way for the Minister of State already.
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Ó Broin. Maidir leis an mBille um Thionóntachtaí Cónaithe (Cíosanna agus Cosaintí Eile do Mhic Léinn) (Covid-19) 2021, is é an cheist ná go léifear an Bille an dara uair. An bhfuil sé sin aontaithe? Tá sé aontaithe.
The Taoiseach without interruption, please.
Time is up.
