Thank you Taoiseach. Time is up.
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.

Thank you Taoiseach. Time is up.
Thank you. I call Deputy Barry.
We have to move on to Question No. 4. The time is up.
I am sorry, but we have to move on to Question No. 4. We are way over time.
I thank the Taoiseach.
I thank the Taoiseach very much. We must move to Question No. 8.
I am sorry but we are out of time. We are on Question No. 8.
I apologise to the Deputy, but the truth is that many of the questions take so long that there is inadequate time left to answer. We might need to look at how we structure this process.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy.
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) Deputies Aodhán Ó Ríordáin and Jennifer Murnane O'Connor - to discuss suspending the requirement of special needs assistants to complete 72 hours of non-contact work; (2) Deputy Kathleen Funchion - to discuss Project Carlow 2040: A Vision for Regeneration; (3) Deputies Pat Buckley and Thomas Gould - to discuss the operation of South Doc services in Fermoy…
I welcome the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Deputy Humphreys.
Thank you, Minister. You have been busy.
I thank Deputy Donnelly. That was informative. I call Deputy McGrath, who is sharing with some of his colleagues.
Perhaps Deputy Healy-Rae could bring the Minister down to Kerry and take her on a tour of some of those roads. I am sure she would love to go.
The next slot is being shared by Deputies McNamara, Fitzmaurice and Harkin.
That concludes what has been a stimulating and worthwhile debate on rural and community development.
I welcome the Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee. She has 30 minutes for her opening statement.
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Before Leaders' Questions, I understand the Taoiseach has a brief announcement for the information of the House.
