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.

Allow the Taoiseach to answer.
Absolutely not, Deputy. The Deputy has to take the answer.
Deputy, no.
If the Deputy needs to raise a Topical Issue, she can put one down. This is not a back and forth.
No. If the Deputy is not happy with the answer, put down-----
Deputy Tóibín, you know you are wrong.
I am asking the Deputy to stop addressing the Taoiseach until he finishes his answers,
The Deputy might not like the answer but it is the Taoiseach's answer. Do not interject again, please.
Deputy, please have respect for the other Members.
That is it, Taoiseach. We move to questions Nos. 12 to 28, inclusive. With 16 Members and a remaining 18 and a half minutes, it is highly unlikely we will get to the third group of questions. I ask Members to be brief.
There are 12 Deputies present. They will have 30 seconds each, which means there will be six minutes for questions and six minutes for a response. That is as fair as I can be.
Finally, Deputy Conor D. McGuinness.
Taoiseach, the floor is yours for five minutes.
Do not interrupt.
No, Deputy Tóibín, do not even dare.
Deputy Tóibín will have to look for it afterwards.
Do not even think about it.
I thank the Taoiseach and Members. For future reference, if there needs to be back and forth, this is not the forum in which to pose a question.
We have a Dáil reform committee today at which it will be discussed.
