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.

Iarraim ar an Taoiseach, Teachta Micheál Martin, an rún a bhogadh maidir le duine nua a ainmniú mar bhall den Rialtas.
Deputy Barry appears not to be with us. I call Deputy Carroll MacNeill.
The Deputy can take the entire 20 minutes if he so wishes.
We are moving away from the subject. Can Deputy Healy-Rae give others time to speak?
Can the Deputy's poor colleague be allowed to get a word in edgeways?
I now call Deputy Gould who has three minutes.
For the Deputy's information, on the day we adjourned the Business Committee spent several hours considering the circumstances of the continued use of the Convention Centre and the desire of most of us to return to Leinster House. We had briefings from the health services, NPHET and our health and safety consultants. Having heard those briefings, no one was prepared to propose a return to Leinster House except for non-voting days. We will consider those matters again tomorrow and it will be interesting to see wheth…
We move next to Deputy David Cullinane and then to Deputy Connolly and her colleagues.
Deputy Connolly is sharing time with Deputy Joan Collins.
Amendments Nos. 2, 3, 14 and 17 are related and will be discussed together.
Does any other Deputy wish to contribute? I call the Minister, Deputy O'Brien.
How stands amendment No. 2?
Is the amendment being pressed? Deputy Boyd Barrett would like to speak. How did he get up there? We do not normally see him in that location.
Will the Minister reply to these points?
I am conscious that we have limited time and quite a number of amendments to deal with. How stands amendment No. 2?
Amendment No. 3 was already discussed with amendment No. 2. How stands amendment No. 3?
Amendments Nos. 4 and 5 are related and may be discussed together. Amendment No. 5 is a physical alternative to amendment No. 4.
I thank the Deputy. I call Deputy Ó Broin.
I thank Deputy Boyd Barrett for that piece of advice. I will remember it in future. Having got it wrong, I call Deputy Ó Broin.
