Thank you, Deputy.
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, Deputy.
Deputy, please.
Deputy, please.
She is here.
We have two questions left with 20 minutes and 30 seconds.
Not yet.
I thank Deputy Roche. We understand just how personal this is to him.
Thank you, Deputy.
The Deputy is aware-----
Well I am sorry, it is a ruling that I have made.
Excuse me.
That is perfectly all right, Deputy. I would just ask you to-----
It is rather disrespectful to disregard a ruling of the Chair, a ruling that is made to safeguard all candidates and the office of the President. You could have referenced your comments without naming anybody if you wished to do that. It is a disregard of the ruling of the Chair. All I ask is for some respect.
There was a salient ruling the other day that the office of the President is above political debate, as well as the nominated candidates. I ask Deputy Coppinger to be respectful of that.
It was advised-----
I am sorry, it was advised at the Business Committee this morning to the senior Deputy in your group, Deputy Paul Murphy. I ask that Deputy Coppinger consult him.
I thank the Deputy. She can correspond further.
You are.
Well, you are finished.
I thank the Deputy.
