I compliment the Minister of State and the Opposition spokesperson on their efficiency and alacrity in dealing with these matters.
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.

There is nobody present to move amendment No. 53.
As regards amendment No. 56, I do not think you wish to proceed with the amendments in this group, Minister. Is that correct?
Amendment No. 56 is not being proceeded with. What about the others in the group, amendments Nos. 58, 61, 66, 67 and 90?
You are not proceeding with them.
Yes, but you are not moving them at this stage.
You find your phone very useful. It is hard to part you from it.
Words of wisdom, Deputy.
Does anyone else want to contribute on this amendment as the Minister can only come in once more? No. Will the Minister clarify the position?

Thank you Deputy.
Sorry now, let us not have a conversation.
I thank the Taoiseach.
Is that agreed?
