I am calling Deputy Lowry to ask his question.
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.

I am calling Deputy Lowry to ask his question.
The Deputy is out of order.
The Deputy is out of order. I am asking him to please resume his seat.
I ask Deputy Doherty to resume his seat. Does the Taoiseach wish to clarify this matter?
I have called Deputy Lowry.
We cannot have a debate on that issue.
There is no point. I ask the Taoiseach to resume his seat and to please wait a second. If Deputy Doherty is unhappy with what the Taoiseach has said, he should write a letter of complaint and the matter will be dealt with. What is the Taoiseach's point of order?
Thank you, a Thaoisigh. I have called Deputy Lowry.
Does Deputy Martin Browne also wish to speak on this matter?
Well then he will have to wait.
I am coming to everyone. I ask the Deputy to please resume his seat. I call Deputy Tóibín.
A number of Deputies are offering so I ask everyone to please be brief. I call Deputy O'Rourke.
I call the Taoiseach to speak now to wrap up this matter, please.
I call on Deputy Healy-Rae not to interrupt.
That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation. Some 16 Deputies have not been reached and will be given priority tomorrow. We are way over time at this point.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to Second Stage of the Residential Tenancies and Valuation Bill 2020. Earlier today, on the question, "That the Bill be now read a Second Time", a division was claimed and in accordance with the Order of the Dáil of last Friday, that division must be taken now.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
No, we will deal with amendments during the Committee and Report Stage debates.
We move to Deputy Boyd Barrett.
