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.

If Deputy Boyd Barrett is going to ask the Taoiseach a question, he should be let answer it.

Deputy Duncan Smith had the idea that groups may have new proposals to put. If they do, we will consider them.
