The Minister has made it clear she did not say that.
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.

All right.
Next is Deputy Michael Collins, who is sharing time with his colleagues.
The whole House joins with us in extending our deepest sympathies to Deputy Michael Collins on his bereavement. There is not a Member in this House or a person in this country who has not been touched in their hearts and lives by the cold hand of suicide.
In accordance with Standing Order 80(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time tomorrow evening.
I thank the Deputy. We will come back to him.
Please-----
I thank the Tánaiste.
This is becoming a regular routine on a Thursday.
Can we just behave in a slightly orderly way, please?
I thank the Deputy. That concludes Leaders' Questions.
Deputy Bacik.
I thank the Tánaiste.
We are not in the Members' Bar now, so we cannot have a conversation across the Chamber about this.
Please, Deputy. Tánaiste, will you deal with the question?
I thank the Tánaiste. Deputy Flaherty is substituting for Deputy Cahill.
I thank the Deputy for raising that.
You will not put money into it.
We could use them around here.
The Tánaiste is over time.
