Thank you, Deputy, please.
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.

Thank you, Deputy, please.
Thank you, Deputy.
Time is up, Deputy, please.
I thank the Deputy, the time is up.
Your time is up, Deputy.
There are three remaining Deputies, and we are out of time. We will take 30-second questions from each of the three. Deputy Alan Dillon is first.
As a division has been demanded, in accordance with Standing Order 80(2) it is deferred until the weekly division time this evening.
It is a bit like the Mary Celeste in here.
That is fine.
Next is Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor who is sharing with her constituency colleague. Deputy Browne is after Deputy Murnane O' Connor.
Yes, but I will call you next, and if Deputy Quinlivan is amenable, I will leave him until the next Sinn Féin slot. Is that okay?
Well, you should have been here then.
You were not. That is why you were not called. I will not call you at all if you do not want to.
I am sure it has not escaped most people's attention that we are a bit ahead of schedule. Due to the superb scheduling work of the Government Chief Whip and the management of business by the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, we are at risk of becoming a family-friendly Parliament already by getting the business done a lot earlier than normal. My thanks to everybody involved. I must now deal with a postponed division relating to Second Stage of the Commissions of Investigation (Amendment) Bill 2023, taken on Thursday, 15 Febru…
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding paediatric orthopaedic and urology services. On Tuesday, 20 February 2024, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding healthcare provision in rural communities. On Wednesday, 21 February 2024, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
I must now deal with a deferred division relating to amendment No. 1, in the name of Deputy Pearse Doherty, to the motion regarding the proposed approval by Dáil Éireann of the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2022 (Section 4(2)) (Scheme Termination Date) Order 2024. On Wednesday, 21 February 2022, on the question "That the amendment be made", a division was claimed and that division must be taken now.
As referred to by the Taoiseach earlier, before moving on to the Order of Business it would be appropriate if the House marked the sudden passing over the weekend of Michael O'Regan. Michael started his career with The Kerryman . He became a Dáil reporter in 1988 and wrote about politics for The Irish Times for 30 years. More recently, he worked for Radio Kerry. He was one of our pre-eminent and much-loved political journalists. He was renowned for his meticulous research, encyclopaedic knowledge and innate sense o…
Is that agreed?
Are the proposed arrangements for the week agreed? Agreed.
