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.

We move now to consider amendment No. 1 from the Social Democrats. How stands that amendment?
We must now consider amendment No. 2, in the name of Deputy McNamara.
How stands amendment No. 2?
There is an amendment tabled to this motion in the name of Deputy Michael McNamara.
How stands the amendment? Is it being pressed?
Is the motion moved by the Minister agreed to?
I remind Members that following this business, we will proceed to the Order of Business.
The House has agreed that, during the duration of the Covid-19 emergency only, the rapporteur's report on the Order of Business shall not be read out but shall be taken as read. Accordingly, there is only one proposal to be put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed to? Agreed.
Before adjourning, the House must agree the arrangements for next week's proceedings of the Special Committee on Covid-19 Response. Those arrangements are notified in the report of the Business Committee for next week's business, which was circulated this evening. Can I take those arrangements as read and can I take it they are agreed? Agreed. Furthermore, I wish to announce for the information of the House that Deputy Carol Nolan has replaced Deputy Danny Healy-Rae as the Rural Independent Group member on the Comm…
I call on the Minister, Deputy Harris, to make his opening statement. I welcome the Minister. He has ten minutes.
I thank the Deputy.
I am afraid the Deputy does not have five minutes. The clock is correct.
Ten minutes were allocated to the Deputy and his colleagues.
And one woman.
I thank Deputy Naughten. I call Deputy Pringle.

We will get the perspective from Kerry.
Our first item for consideration is the Order of Business for today and for Wednesday morning of next week. As Members know, the House has agreed that, during the duration of the Covid-19 emergency only, the rapporteur's report on the Order of Business shall not be read out but shall be taken as read. Accordingly, there is only one proposal to be put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with Wednesday's business agreed to?
It is not my job to defend either the Government or the Opposition, but the reality of the situation is that we have produced some statistics in the recent weeks. They indicate that in terms of accountability we have, during the weeks that we have been sitting, devoted more time to holding the Government to account than we would in the course of an ordinary sitting week. My understanding of the reason there has been a request for one day only this week and one day next week is that the parties which hope to form a …
Anyway, I will put the question. Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed to? Not agreed.
