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.

We have 75 minutes in this slot and more Members are offering to speak than for whom there is time available. Perhaps Members will bear this in mind.
Thank you, Deputy Collins, and safe driving back to Mizen Head.
Message received.
I thank Deputy Carthy. The Minister has heard a number of very passionate contributions following Deputy Martin Kenny's almost poetic introduction to the Bill. Perhaps the Minister of State would like to respond. She has five minutes if she wishes.
In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the next weekly division time.
Seanad Éireann has passed the Health (Amendment) Bill 2020, without amendment.
There are two minutes remaining in this slot. Is anyone else from the Government side offering? No. Are we in a position to adjourn the debate?
I do not have a list of speakers.
Deputy Shortall is next.
The floor is Deputy Shortall's but I must ask her to move the adjournment at noon.
The Select Committee on Climate Action has completed its consideration of the following Revised Estimate for Public Services for the year ending 31 December 2020: Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment.
We move to Questions on Promised Legislation. We have 31 names to hand, 14 of which have been carried forward from earlier in the week. I call Deputy Pearse Doherty.
Thank you, Deputy. I will come back to you later. It is normal for the leaders to be given an opportunity. I will come to Deputy Naughten in a minute.
Is it from the side of the hares rather than the greyhounds?
The idea of catwalks in marts is a new one on me, though I live in a rural constituency myself.
We had better save the Christmas turkeys anyway.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
