Thank you, Deputy.

Rhetoric & votes →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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

That is appreciated. We will now go back to names carried forward from yesterday. Is Deputy Richmond here? No. Is Deputy Carroll MacNeill here? No. I call Deputy Bruton who I see up there in the back.

This is going to be interesting. The Deputy can most certainly amend his amendment provided that the intent and nature of the amendment to the amendment is absolutely clear. It might be a good idea, if he is so doing, to read the amendment to the amendment into the record of the House. While he is thinking about that, I will call on Deputy Paul Murphy, who wishes to contribute.

I thank Deputy Murphy. I cannot return to Deputy Howlin after this so we need to deal with this.

I only wish to be helpful in this process but I understand the Bill could be reprinted tonight and the necessary amendment made in order for it to be ready tomorrow. I am in the hands of both the Minister of State and the Deputy.

Yes, that is the case. The Minister of State indicated he was prepared to accept part of it.

The Minister of State should probably be careful of what he wishes for.
