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.

Yes, but I am afraid we will agree-----
I thank the Minister. Has Deputy Duncan Smith green fingers?
The next speaker is Deputy Michael Collins. I understand the Deputy is sharing time with Deputy O'Donoghue.
We have to move on to the next speaker.
