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.

No, we do not have time.
The Deputy is not asking the question.
The Deputy is not asking the question. Will he resume his seat?
I call the Regional Group.
Will the Deputy please respect his colleagues?
Thank you, Taoiseach. The time is up.
That concludes questions on promised legislation. The 30 or so Deputies we have not reached will be given priority tomorrow.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Congratulations to everyone involved.
The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Michael McGrath, was in possession and has 14 minutes remaining.
I thank the Minister. We proceed to the Sinn Féin contributors. Deputy Mairéad Farrell proposes to share her time with Deputy O'Reilly.
I thank the Minister. I will now put the question.
I am sorry but the Deputy cannot do so after the Minister has wrapped up the debate.
No, the Deputy was not back in the Chamber in time to contribute.
That is not a point of order. I do not need to be advised on how the House operates. The first part of any parliamentary process is that Members be present in order to conduct the business. When the two very effective contributors for Sinn Féin had spoken, there was nobody else in the Chamber offering and, therefore, the Minister was called on to respond. That is the way the system works. I am afraid we cannot go running around after people who have not bothered to turn up on time.
Excuse me, Deputy.
The Deputy is not a wet week in the place. What I am saying is absolutely correct.
The Deputy is not making sense, he is not speaking from his designated seat and he is out of order.
You are not. You could not be more incorrect.
