Sorry, will the Taoiseach sit down for a moment? Six Members have posed questions to the Taoiseach, all of them without interruption. Will they let him respond, please, with the same courtesy that was extended to them?
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.
No, the Deputy asked a question-----
Deputy, please.
We are trying to-----
Excuse me-----
Can we please-----
Deputies are turning the Dáil-----
Deputy Kelly, please do not reduce the House to a Ballymagash-type situation. Questions have been raised, the Taoiseach has dealt with them-----
-----and we are now going to move on.
Excuse me, we are going to move on. The question is that Tuesday's business be agreed to.
Please, Deputy-----
Please, Deputy-----
Deputy, please resume your seat.
Deputy Shortall-----
Deputy Shortall, do not try to embroil the Chair in this matter. It is not for me to determine what business is done by the Government in business time. Standing Order 29 makes it abundantly clear that it is the Government's prerogative to decide what business is transacted. I have no role whatsoever in that.
Is the proposal for dealing with Wednesday's business agreed to?
We cannot get into a long debate.
Thank you, Deputy.
I thank the Deputy.
