Deputy Boyd Barrett is not with us, so I call Deputy Tóibín.
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, Deputy Shanahan. Many of us hope to head to Waterford before the year is out.
I hope to be there.
Please God.
As we do not have anybody else offering, I am happy to go to the Minister of State.
Undoubtedly, that will be good news for the local residents. That brings the debate to a conclusion.
I am sorry, but the Minister of State has spoken. You cannot contribute after the Minister of State has concluded..
No. I am sorry, but once the Minister of State is called to respond to the debate, as he was, no other Member can contribute. Before the Minister of State spoke, I asked if there was any other Member present who wished to contribute and there was nobody here at that stage.
Yes.
You can speak to the Minister of State directly. I am sure he will facilitate you.
Thank you.
We missed Deputy Daly, whom we are going back to now. He will be followed by Deputy Tully..
We move now to the Regional Group and Deputy Matt Shanahan.
We move on to Deputy Cullinane, who will share time with Deputy Tully.
We move now to the Government slot. Deputy McGuinness is sharing with Deputies Calleary, Richmond and O'Connor, according to my list.
Maybe we will hear Deputy Richmond and then come back to the Minister.
The Deputy may communicate directly with the Minister.
I call Deputy O'Dowd. The Minister can respond at the end.
I will have to ask the next two Deputies to be very brief if we are to get a reply from the Minister.
Deputy O'Connor has 30 seconds.
