Well done, Deputy Dempsey.
Verona Murphy
Rhetoric & votes →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.

No, we have other Members. Deputy Healy-Rae is only one of the "other Members". He has used up two and a half minutes of his time.

I call Deputy Mattie McGrath, but I will give Deputy Healy-Rae 30 seconds to finalise his points, seeing as he was caught off-guard.

It has been a positive debate. I also welcome the extended Doran family, whom I was not expecting to see in the Gallery, particularly with the Minister, Deputy Burke. They are more than welcome. I hope they are having a good evening.
