Please.
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.

Please.
Please, Deputies.
Deputy McDonald is eating into her own members' time. I call Deputy Nash on behalf of the Labour Party.
We have no more than one minute for each question and answer. Will Members observe no more than one minute please?
Our next contributor is Deputy O'Dowd. He is sharing with Deputy James O'Connor.
We will move to the Regional Group. Deputy Grealish is sharing time with Deputy Shanahan.
Deputy Cahill will share time with Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan in our next slot. Deputy Cahill will speak first.
In accordance with an order of the House today, the division is postponed until the next voting bloc is scheduled to take place.
I call Deputy Boyd Barrett, who is sharing time with Deputy Barry.
I offer my apologies to the Deputy.
My apologies to Deputy O'Donoghue. The lists were here before me when I came in so I apologise for that. Can we deal with Deputy Martin Kenny's question?
Since there was an issue, can we hear Deputy O'Donoghue?
Deputy Nolan is on the same matter.
That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation. I am sorry if there was some slight misunderstanding in the handover between the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and myself.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
After the Minister has made his opening statement, Deputies may make statements or ask questions and get answers.
Will the Minister take questions now?
That is fine. We will move on to Deputy Darren O'Rourke.
