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.

That concludes our contributions from speakers, so we will move to questions and answers. I call Deputy Ó Laoghaire. We have a 20-minute slot, so I ask him to be as concise as possible. I will be as fair as possible.
I call Deputy Danny Healy-Rae.
Yes, as briefly as possible.
I call Deputy Ó Laoghaire.
No, only the first time. The second time we just go around again. I call Deputy Ó Laoghaire.
This is not your question, Deputy.
I thank the Minister of State.
I thank the Minister of State. He now has five minutes to conclude these statements.
The Select Committee on Health has completed its consideration of the following Supplementary Estimate for Public Services for the service of the year ending 31 December 2025: Vote 38.
Before I move forward, this is not a reprimand to Deputy Cullinane in any way but I ask Deputies to be mindful when we mention children's names as to the consequences or a request to have that deleted from the record. That is all. I am sure everybody is well aware but this is just a reminder.
Deputy Doherty missed his speaking slot due to a conflict with a committee meeting. I propose that he would take his four minutes with the agreement of Members. It will not put anybody out. It is the four minutes that we are ahead. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Before Deputy McGuinness begins, I welcome members of the Dublin Chamber who are here as guests of Deputy Devlin.
You will be aware there is a change. I call on the Government Chief Whip, Deputy Mary Butler, to deliver the business proposal.
I thank the Chief Whip. Are the proposed arrangements agreed to?
Deputies, that is absolutely fine. I propose we go with the system of 30 seconds for each Member wishing to speak.
Thank you.
Allow the courtesy of a response. Please, Deputies.
We now have the nomination of member of Government. We have an 80-minute slot, with ten minutes for each leader and time can be shared. I ask that Members advise.
Before we move to the next speaker, it would be remiss of us not to welcome the Icelandic speaker, Ms Þórunn Sveinbjarnardóttir, and her delegation from the Althing. They are very welcome. They have spent two days here in Ireland.
We have thanked the soccer manager, most certainly, as well as Troy Parrott.
