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, Taoiseach. The time is up.
We cannot go on any further on this matter.
The Taoiseach, without interruption.
I ask the Deputy, please, not to interrupt the Taoiseach.
We cannot get into a lengthy debate on this matter.

Is the Bill being opposed?

I thank the Deputy.
Deputy Bernard Durkan was in possession. He has two minutes remaining.
As we do not have a Labour Party contributor at this point, the next slot is for the Government. I call Deputy Barry Cowen.
We do not have another Government contributor at this stage, nor do we have another Sinn Féin contributor. That being the case, I call Deputy Connolly.
I call Deputy Joan Collins, who is sharing time with Deputy McNamara.
Sin deireadh le Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh agus ar a lán rudaí eile. Níor éirigh linn deichniúr den bhallraíocht a shroichint an tseachtain seo agus tá brón orm faoi sin.

We move now to the next item of business, which is statements and questions and answers with the Minister for Health on the vaccine roll-out programme. I welcome the Minister, Deputy Donnelly, and the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, who is also with us. The Minister has 20 minutes.
