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.

Is the proposal for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to? Agreed.
Deputy Danny Healy-Rae on the same issue.
We are not going to have a conversation about this now.

Members, I have just been given some very serious information. I am told that arising out of events today, the Cabinet must now self-isolate. Therefore, the possibility of proceeding with business does not arise and the House stands adjourned, I suspect until Tuesday next or until I am directed by the Taoiseach to reconvene the House.

I have absolutely no difficulty with the questions from Deputies Alan Kelly and Mac Lochlainn and others; they are absolutely legitimate and in order. Just for the sake of clarity, I arrived here to take he…
The Deputy wants me to put it in writing.
