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.

Resume your seat. If the Deputy persists, I will put the House into recess. We will now hear Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin without interruption please.
The time is up.
Let me be clear on something.
I have no power or authority to direct the Taoiseach to give Deputy Doherty, or any other Member for that matter, any particular answer. The question has been posed and the Tánaiste has given an answer and that is the end of it.
We are over time, sorry. We cannot go into the detail of it.
The Tánaiste and Deputy Cannon might correspond with each other.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Tánaiste. The time is up.
I thank the Deputy.
All right. I thank the Tánaiste.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Deputy. The time is up.
Deputy, please, the time is up.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank the Tánaiste.
I thank the Minister of State for being here to deal with these matters and I thank the Deputies who tabled Topical Issues matters for today.
This is the Neighbour Disputes (Vegetation) Bill 2017. I hope the neighbours are not disputing over cabbages or anything like that, but I am sure Deputy Ó Snodaigh will tell us. The Government has indicated it is not opposing the Second Reading.
Next to speak is Deputy Ó Murchú. Is there a problem with trees in Dundalk?
Nor do kids.
