The Minister of State, Deputy Butler, is here. I think Deputy Ó Murchú is leading off for Sinn Féin. Will he?
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 Minister of State, Deputy Butler, is here. I think Deputy Ó Murchú is leading off for Sinn Féin. Will he?
I call Deputy Cullinane to move the motion. He is sharing time with his colleagues and has 20 minutes.
You have as long as you like. It is up to Sinn Féin.
I thank the Minister of State very much for that comprehensive presentation.
I call Deputy Grealish, on behalf of the Regional Group.
Is that agreed?
Deputy.
Deputy, your time is up, please.
Deputy, please.
Deputy, please. The time is up.
Let the Taoiseach answer, Deputy McGrath.
Are the proposed arrangements for this week's business agreed to?
I thank the Minister of State. We are out of time. We will take three 30-second questions from the remaining Deputies. I call Deputy Paul Murphy.
I thank Deputy Ryan for her words of wisdom.
I call Deputy Sorca Clarke.
I thank the Deputy.
I thank Deputy Ó Murchú. I call Deputy Verona Murphy.
I have been called lots of things, most of them not repeatable.
I thank the Deputy for bringing that heart-rending story to the attention of the House. It is easy to stand up here and talk about great successes, be they in sport or wherever, but to highlight something of that nature is a real public service. I thank her again.
We now go to the Rural Independent Group. Deputy Nolan sharing time with her colleagues.
