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.

The Deputies can suit themselves. It is up to them to work it out. There are 36 minutes remaining, with five Deputies offering. They could have seven minutes each if they wanted. Deputy Cullinane is up first.
Good.
We had very substantial contributions by all of the Deputies who spoke. Would the Minister of State care to respond?
Deputies Colm Burke and Higgins have stimulated a very important debate. I invite Deputy Colm Burke to respond to that debate now.
In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time on Wednesday, 30 September 2020.
I request all Members please to adhere to the time allocated. We are sitting very late each evening and a time overrun at this stage means we will be even later. I call Deputy McDonald.
The Taoiseach, without interruption.
That is not a point of order.
The Deputy has made her point.
We are moving to questions on promised legislation. Some 26 Deputies have indicated their wish to speak and they each have one minute to ask one question.
I call Deputy Denis Naughten.
I am sorry.
I call Deputy Chris Andrews.
We can only have one question.
I thank the Deputy. Time is up.
Deputy, please. You are taking your own colleagues' time. I call Deputy O'Reilly.
The Deputy's time is up.
Does Deputy Barry wish to speak on the same matter?
Please.
Please, Taoiseach.
