Rhetoric & votes →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 Deputy's point is made. We did agree to focus on the arts. The subject matter raised by Deputy Cahill falls within the Minister's remit but it is not for discussion tonight.

Before other Members come in, I would like to make a point. Deputy Duncan Smith was correct in noting that a number of areas of the Minister's responsibility are up for discussion. It was decided that we would focus on the arts this evening.

I am sorry but the Minister's time is up. It is up to the Deputies. I am concerned about communication. Obviously it was not communicated to Deputies that the focus this evening was on the arts.

No harm has been done by anybody, but the focus was meant to be on the arts. I assume people in the arts community are watching to see what Members have to say about the arts.

There is nothing unprecedented at all about Whips reporting back their parties on what business is to be transacted. In fact it is unprecedented that they would not tell their colleagues what they are supposed to be dealing with.

Our legal advice is that the motion before the House can unlay the laid report. I know that an egg cannot be put back after it has been laid.
