The Tánaiste's time is up.
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.

The Tánaiste's time is up.
It is a little unfair to Deputy Cronin. If Deputy Conway-Walsh put all her questions, we could then take the two sets together, if possible. If not, will the Tánaiste correspond?
Has the Tánaiste any brief comments?
We are out of time. Could the Tánaiste correspond with the Deputies?
Our next group of contributors begins with Deputy Flaherty, who is sharing with Deputies Richmond, Murnane O'Connor and O'Donnell.
The Tánaiste might deal with that question and perhaps correspond on the other points if he cannot reach them.
I take it the Tánaiste will correspond with Deputies Richmond, Flaherty and Murnane O'Connor.
Deputy O'Rourke is sharing time with Deputy Ó Murchú.
All this talk of sea bass is making me hungry.
I cannot hear it here.
We move now to the Independent Group. Deputies Pringle and Fitzmaurice will contribute. I will have to ask whoever is in possession after 17 minutes to move the adjournment of the debate.

A division has been called and, in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time as agreed by the House.
The House has agreed that for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency, the rapporteur's report on the Order of Business shall not be read out but shall be taken as read. There are two proposals to be put to the House today. Is the proposal for dealing with Wednesday's business agreed to?
The Deputy has made his point.
A number of Deputies want to contribute. We cannot have lengthy statements.
Before I call the Taoiseach, as Chairman of the Business Committee I would like to make a brief contribution. It is a matter for this House what business is transacted here each week, but to be fair and reasonable, the Business Committee, over an extended period of time, has tried to address the sittings of the Dáil conscious of (1) the public health advice, (2) the advice of our own health and safety consultants, and (3) the submissions we have received from the union groups representing the staff who support us h…
No.

We cannot go into detail on that.
