Social Welfare (Covid-19) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage
The next slot is the Rural Independent Group. Is Deputy Mattie McGrath sharing time?
Seán Ó Fearghaíl

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.

The Deputy is getting value for money. She was supposed to ask one question on one topic. I call Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire on the same issue.
