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 House has agreed that, for the duration of the Covid crisis, the rapporteur's report on the Business Committee will be taken as read. There are, however, three proposals to be considered by the House. Is the proposal for dealing with Tuesday's business agreed to?
It would appear appropriate, in light of what the Taoiseach said and what the Members have raised, that the Business Committee would look at setting additional time aside next week for the debates referred to. Can I take it, therefore, that Tuesday's business is now-----
Is Tuesday's business agreed? Agreed. We are generally agreed in principle that next week we will provide additional time if necessary. Are Wednesday's proposals agreed to?
Is Wednesday's business agreed? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to? Agreed. On promised legislation, 20 Deputies have already indicated.
I call Deputy Mattie McGrath on the same matter.
Six Deputies have not been reached on promised legislation and will be given priority tomorrow.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
I compliment the Deputy on introducing this important legislation.
Déanaim comhghairdeas leis an Teachta. Is the Bill being opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
I wish to advise the House of the following matters in respect of which notice has been given under Standing Order 37 and the name of the Member in each case: (1) Deputy Joan Collins - to discuss the recent increase in the number of homeless families and single adults and the number of deaths among those sleeping rough; (2) Deputies Louise O'Reilly and Darren O'Rourke - to discuss the need for access to hygiene and health facilities for assisted driving instructors; (3) Deputy Jennifer Whitmore - to discuss changes…
The Minister without interruption.
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta. Chun freagra a thabhairt, táimid ag dul go dtí an tAire, an Teachta McEntee agus an tAire Stáit, an Teachta Rabbitte. Ar dtús, ar son b'fhéidir gach duine atá anseo agus iad siúd nach bhfuil, ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a dhéanamh leis an Aire agus lena fear céile as an dea-nuacht atá foilsithe aici le déanaí.
Tá an Teachta Réada Cronin ag roinnt a cuid ama leis na Teachtaí Quinlivan agus O'Reilly.
I congratulate all involved in progressing the Bill through Second Stage.
If I might, with regard to the question of people being turned away from homeless centres when our understanding is that this should not happen.
We appreciate the assistance of the Minister of State on that matter.
We now move to the second important issue and Deputy Niamh Smyth, who wishes to discuss gender equality for ladies Gaelic games, which is not surprising given what happened in recent days.
I do not think it is €700 million, somehow or other. They would be happy with €700 million.
