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.

It really raises questions about how we operate if we all come into a meeting on Thursday and agree to a programme and then come in here on a Tuesday and because of whatever has appeared in the national press, we go off on a-----

Thank you, Deputy. The time is up.
We are out of time. There are four Deputies remaining and I will take a 30-second question from each of them.
The Deputy's question has been dealt with.
I call Deputy Durkan.
