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.

Before I call the Minister of State, I join in the words of welcome to Her Excellency, Ms Larysa Gerasko, Ambassador of Ukraine to Ireland. I am acutely aware that, as a proud representative of her country she feels deeply about what is happening but she has the added reality of the fact that her parents and family are living through the hell that is currently the order of the day in Ukraine.

Given that you believe we have rich parliamentary traditions, which of course we have, everyone will be on their best behaviour today.
Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy. Time is up, please.
