Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed to? Agreed.
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.

Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed to? Agreed.
Can we have order, please?
I call Deputy Eamon Ryan. Is the Deputy sharing time with Deputy Noonan?
I call on Deputy Noonan to make his maiden address to the House.
Deputy Holly Cairns will now make her maiden address to the House.
I thank Deputy Cairns very much and congratulate her on her first contribution.
Is that agreed? Agreed. This certainly is not Deputy Boyd Barrett's maiden contribution here anyway.
We must check the figures.
The next speaker is Deputy Mattie McGrath, who is sharing time with Deputy Danny Healy-Rae.
We will try to get a copy of the speech.
We now come to two new Deputies making their maiden speeches, Deputy Ossian Smyth and Deputy O'Gorman.
I thank the Deputy. Well done.
Congratulations Deputy.
Deputy Sherlock has made a very valuable contribution but I should point out that we are not in a constitutional lacuna. The Constitution is quite clear in respect of the responsibilities that exist for the Government, albeit a caretaker Government, and any Government that existed before it or any Government that may come into existence after it. I now call Deputy Jennifer Whitmore, who will share time with Deputy Cian O'Callaghan. Is this Deputy Whitmore's maiden contribution?
The Deputy is out of time.
The Deputy is out of time now.
We do not have this time problem with people from Cork and not normally with people from Wexford.
Thanks be to God for mentioning the coronavirus at the end.
I call Deputy Connolly, who is sharing time with Deputies Joan Collins and McNamara.

Tá súil agam go mbeidh rath Dé ar a gcuid oibre. I thank the Clerk and congratulate Mr. Peter Finnegan and his excellent team on the preparations for today that allow this assembly to function as efficiently as always. I am grateful for the opportunity to say a few words to Members this afternoon and to congratulate my colleague and …
