Thank you, Deputy. I call Deputy Farrelly.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 172 of 425 decisive votes (10 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. I call Deputy Farrelly.
At some point, Deputy Ó Murchú might make a new year's resolution to finish his contributions on time.
We have just asked the usher for the speech.
Sorry, Minister, just one second. Deputy, what is the problem?
The Deputy is waiting for the speech.
The Deputy is aware that the speech is on the way.
I will address that later.
The Minister should continue.
I will address that later at the Business Committee and with the Dáil reform committee.
There is no point of order.
There is no point of order on the speech.
Deputy, resume your seat please.
Minister, continue.
You will have the speech when it arrives and I will address it after that for sure.
That is enough, Members. We will continue with the speech.
The Minister to continue, please.
It is on the way. We have requested it, as Members are aware.
That is absolutely fine, Minister. Thank you. We will suspend until such a time as the speech arrives.
Copies of the speech are on the way. Deputies can rest assured that I will deal with this at the Business Committee next Thursday. I have already informed the Chief Whip's office that all speeches will be disseminated to Members prior to the speech or as the speech begins.
I am sorry, Deputy, but I just want to be sure you know there are minors in the Gallery and that their chaperones are aware of the content of the discussion. Please continue. I am sorry for interrupting.
