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 are running out of time on these questions.
Can we leave this question? I would like to allow Deputy Verona Murphy in. She has two questions and she has been here a long time.

Deputy O'Connor is sharing time with Deputy Lahart.
Deputy Paul Donnelly is sharing time with Deputy Ó Laoghaire.
I thank Deputy Shortall. We now move to another Government slot. Deputy Cathal Crowe is sharing time with Deputies Alan Farrell and Emer Higgins.
I thank Deputy Higgins for that uplifting contribution. I do not know if anyone feels like tripping the light fantastic after that, but the next contributors are Deputies Conway-Walsh and Wynne.
Deputy Boyd Barrett is sharing time with Deputy Barry.
I have heard many promises made in the House over the years but I never heard whiskey promised before.
We all might get to share it with him.

The next contributor is Deputy Murnane O'Connor, who is sharing time with Deputy Alan Farrell.

The Deputy has clocked up a fair few minutes already. I call Deputy Bríd Smith.
