Thank you, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Bacik.
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, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Bacik.
Deputy, please. The direction of the Chair is final.
Thank you, Deputy. The Taoiseach to respond now.
I call Deputy Malcolm Byrne.
I thank the Taoiseach. The time is up.
Time is time.
I wish to welcome the survivors to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery. Their family and friends and legal representatives are in the Gallery. I thank them all for being here today.
The statement of apology following the publication of the Report of the South East Commission of Investigation now begins. I call the Taoiseach to make a statement under Standing Order 56. The Taoiseach is sharing time with the Tánaiste. They have 15 minutes each.
I am not sure that applause is allowed but I thank Deputies. We are getting near the holidays.
Thank you, Deputy.
The Minister of State will respond and then the Deputy can come back in.
Thank you, Minister of State. You can come back in.
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit.
Go raibh maith agat, a Aire Stáit.
No, the Minister of State is finished now.
Bogfaidh muid ar aghaidh go Ceist Uimh. 7 in ainm an Teachta O’Rourke.
Excuse me. The Deputy is correct.
Thank you, Deputy. The Minister will respond, and then the Deputy can come back in.
This is Question No. 8.
The Minister is answering that one quickly, because he only has a minute and a half left.
