Deputy Collins.
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.

Deputy Collins.
Please, Deputy Collins.
Please save the constituency rivalry for the campaign.
Allow the Taoiseach to continue without interruption.
That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation. We did not reach 14 Deputies, including five who were carried forward from yesterday.
The Taoiseach has taken Questions Nos. 2 to 6, inclusive, together. Given that four Deputies have asked questions in this grouping, I ask that they be conscious of time in order that there will be time at the end for the Taoiseach to respond.
The Taoiseach has a little over five minutes to respond, which is a challenging task.
We will move on to Question No. 7. Would Deputies prefer to spend the remaining five minutes on these questions? Question No. 7 will then remain for the next day.
Okay. We will go to Question No. 7.
There are 46 seconds.
I do not want to silence the Deputy now, but his time is up.
We move to the Social Democrats. Deputy Whitmore is sharing time with Deputy Gannon.
Okay.
The Deputy is over time.
The Deputy's time is up.
The Taoiseach's time is up.
That concludes Leaders' Questions. We are due to sit until 12.45 a.m. We have just run 15 minutes over time. I do not know if we need stopwatches for the leaders but we will have to try to adhere to the times.
The Taoiseach is certainly not dodging them. He is comprehensively dealing with them all. The questions and answers are all very comprehensive. That may be the problem.
Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed to?
We are just talking about today's business.
