We cannot get into a long debate about it now.
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.

Is it agreed to proceed with the business as proposed?
Are the proposals for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to?
We have 34 Deputies offering for Questions on Promised Legislation. It is highly unlikely that we will even get to half of them. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald, please.
Time is up now, Deputy
The Taoiseach, without interruption.
I thank the Deputy. I call the Taoiseach.
I thank the Taoiseach. I call Deputy McNamara.
Deputy McNamara is over time.
The time is up, Taoiseach.
Please, Deputies.
I thank the Taoiseach. I call Deputy Mairéad Farrell.
As there are no other contributors from the Government, the Rural Independent Group or the Independent Group present, I call the Minister again.
Am I to take it that Deputies Mairéad Farrell and Kerrane will take the Sinn Féin slot?
I could not see the Deputy; my apologies.
Thank you, Deputy.
The next contributor listed is Deputy Gannon but níl sé anseo and neither is Deputy O'Connor. Is Deputy MacSharry here for Deputy O'Connor?
There is a slot available now but if the Deputy does not want to take it-----
The Deputy has eight minutes and if Deputy Dillon comes in, he can share that time with Deputy MacSharry.
That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation.
