The Taoiseach, please.
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.

The Taoiseach, please.
Deputy, please. I call the Taoiseach.
Thank you, Deputy.
Time is up, Deputy.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
I call the Taoiseach to respond. Deputy McGrath's time is up.
The Taoiseach will respond.
I call Deputy Murphy. We will go over time, so I ask the two remaining Deputies to be brief.
Based on the number of Deputies present, I propose one minute each and that will give the Taoiseach time to answer.
There are five more questions from Deputies.
I know that, and I am very hungry.
Most of the time.
The Taoiseach's time is up.
No, that is the end of Cork.
The Deputies will, I am sure.
I would say Deputy McGrath will do a fair job on Cork.
That was the final Taoiseach’s questions until we come back in September. I thank the Taoiseach for his co-operation with all the Members. I wish him a very successful recess, particularly as he will be very busy with EU Presidency business and his normal business.
I welcome our special visitors to the Public Gallery. We are joined by members of the family of the late Jennie Poole, in whose memory this Bill is named: her brother, Jason Poole; her parents, Jackie and Joe; her siblings, David and Clare; and her precious children, Nevaeh and Zack. They are most welcome to sit here for the final stages of Jennie's law. We welcome and thank them.
