The Minister's time is up.
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.

The Minister's time is up.
Before the Minister comes in I wish to point out that in respect of the court case you have alluded to, Deputy Feighan, there is the prospect of a possible appeal. I think it would be unwise to make any comment at this stage.
Deputy Gino Kenny is sharing time with Deputy Paul Murphy.
I call Deputy Danny Healy-Rae, who is sharing time Deputy Michael Collins.
Yesterday, the Business Committee, on foot of a proposal from the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Madigan, decided we should have a further minute's silence today as a demonstration of our abhorrence and rejection of racism and as an indication of our solidarity with and respect for all those people internationally who have died on foot of vile racist attacks.
I remind Members that the House has agreed, for the duration of the Covid-19 emergency only, that the rapporteur's report shall not be read out but should be taken as read. Accordingly, I will proceed to put the two proposals for this week's business to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with Wednesday's business agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to? Agreed. I thank the Deputies for their co-operation.
That leads us immediately to No. 4 on the agenda, which is a statement by the Minister of State for Defence on Covid-19, followed by questions and answers. I call the Minister of State, Deputy Kehoe, to make his opening statement.
I call Deputy Jack Chambers, who is sharing time with Deputy Robert Troy. I want to clarify if there will be questions.
However, the Deputy will take written answers afterwards.
That is fine.
The Minister of State might just provide a brief response because he has less than a minute and he can correspond with the Deputies afterwards.
We have to move on. I am sorry. The time is up. Is Deputy Ó Snodaigh sharing with two colleagues?
Minister of State, you have two and a half minutes to respond.
Yes, we can do it that way. Go ahead, Deputy Clarke.
We have three and a half minutes left. Could the Minister of State perhaps respond to some of those questions in correspondence?
Whatever you can.
I thank the Minister of State. Time is up.
We will hear all of the questions and then come back to the Minister of State.
Perhaps the Minister of State could respond to the Deputy in writing because we are running out of time for Deputy Paul Murphy.
I thank the Minister of State. We must move on.
