If the Government has sorted out the Dunkettle roundabout then "AA Roadwatch" will never sound the same again.
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.

I call the Minister, who is sharing time with the Minister of State.
This is a very special occasion for two reasons. It is the first time that a budget has been delivered outside of the august surroundings of Leinster House. We again thank the authorities here in the Convention Centre Dublin for facilitating us. It is also a special day because our distinguished head usher, Colm O'Rourke, is attending for his last sitting day in the House. All will agree that Colm has given outstanding, distinguished and sterling service to the Houses of the Oireachtas over the past 14 years. He wi…
Is that agreed? Agreed.
Before the Deputy concludes, I should say that he made reference in his contribution to Mr. Goodman, and there have been many references to Mr. Goodman in this House over many years. Nothing he said was new to us, but I remind the Deputy and the House in general that it is completely at variance with Standing Orders and the standards we hope to implement here to name anybody outside the House.
I ask the Deputy to let his colleague in.
I understand we are dealing with Financial Resolutions Nos. 4 to 6, inclusive, together.
I call the Tánaiste, Deputy Leo Varadkar, to deal with Financial Resolutions Nos. 5 and 6.
Again, I wish to make clear that we are considering Financial Resolutions Nos. 4 to 6, inclusive. I call Deputy Boyd Barrett.
Does the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, or the Tánaiste wish to contribute? We will hear the Tánaiste first and then the Minister, Deputy O'Gorman.
Deputies Paul Murphy and Cullinane are indicating again. I take it they want to make additional points. I call Deputy Paul Murphy.
We can adjourn consideration of this until later in the week.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to Second Stage of the Trade Union Representation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2018, taken on Thursday, 8 October 2020. On the question, "That the Bill be now read a Second Time", a division was claimed and that division must be taken now.
Please, Deputies. I call Deputy Catherine Murphy, without interruption.
I call the Taoiseach. Apologies, I call the Tánaiste.
It is catching.
The time is up.
Deputy Brady is taking his colleagues' time.
Are councillors not supposed to oversee local authorities, rather than the Tánaiste doing so?
The Deputy has made his point.
