I can only take one speaker from each group. Deputy Paul Murphy is next.
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. You have made your point.
Thank you. That is a helpful suggestion.
The Taoiseach without interruption.
Thank you, Taoiseach. Can we take it, Taoiseach, that the debate that is already scheduled, to which we have all agreed, can in fact deal with the issues that the Members have raised, as Deputy Duncan Smith has suggested?
It is up to the Taoiseach as to whether he makes a statement on these matters.
Please, Deputies. We are here to organise the business of the day. Deputy McDonald has called on the Taoiseach to make a statement, but it is up to him whether he does that. We have, however, scheduled a debate for 135 minutes on banking. Deputy Duncan Smith very reasonably suggested that the issues raised by Deputy McDonald could be raised in that debate and proposed that be done. Is the proposal for today's business agreed? Agreed. The second proposal concerns Thursday's business. Is the proposal for that busines…
I thank the Taoiseach, but his time is up. I call Deputy Alan Kelly.
I thank the Taoiseach, but his time is up. I call Deputy Whitmore.
I ask that Deputies not conduct a parallel conversation. The floor is Deputy Whitmore's.
Several other Deputies are offering and this is going to impact on others waiting.
I ask Members to be brief.
The Taoiseach, without interruption, please.
We do not need a lesson in geography.
I must point out that, today, we have only got to the end of the list of the group leaders without getting to any of the Deputies who had indicated. I suppose that today was because of the banking issue, but my apologies to all of those Deputies who were on the list. Their names will be carried forward and they will be given priority tomorrow.

Cuirfear ar fáil é.
Cuirfear ar fáil é.
