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.

Does Deputy Quinlivan want to throw down the gauntlet himself?
It would be remiss of me not to congratulate the Minister of State for his leadership along with his officials and all of the Ministers and Deputies, including Deputies Quinlivan, Leddin and Mitchell, who have been involved. I hope Limerick will lead the way in the future reform of local government. There has been so much unanimity here today that I feel we should perhaps break into a verse of "Limerick, You're a Lady" but that might be too much.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to an amendment to the Second Reading motion on the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2023. Yesterday, on the question "That the amendment be made", a division was claimed and that division must be taken now.

Deputy, please.
I have the name of Deputy McNamara contributing for the Independent Group, but I take it Deputy Pringle is speaking.
Is that agreed?
We are out of time, Minister.
I am sorry, Minister, but we have to conclude. We are out of time.
No, we are out of time. The question is that the schedule-----
Please stop, Deputies.
No, there is no time. The time for these matters is ordered and we are way over time.
The Minister has had his time and we have no more time. The question now is that the order for this week's business be agreed to. Is that agreed?
We are out of time but we have five remaining Deputies. I will take 30-second questions from them if they are willing.
Be careful what you wish for.
I ask the Deputy to be careful she is not making a comment about somebody who could be identified.
It still does not give the Deputy cover here for mentioning somebody.
I call Deputy Farrell, who is sharing time with Deputy Costello.
Yes.
