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.

I am putting the question that the Order of Business-----
I cannot direct an answer, as you are perfectly aware. You are delaying us. If you do not agree with the Order of Business, you can call a vote.
I know you did.
You are disrupting the House now.
Your question was not answered. I cannot direct an answer.
We will follow the rules. I will now put the question on the Order of Business. Are the proposed arrangements for the week's business hereby agreed to?
The arrangements are agreed.
We now move to Questions on Policy or Legislation. I will start with Deputy Mary Lou McDonald.
You did not call a vótáil.
Then we will have to go back and ask for a vote.
Will the Deputies allow me to proceed?
Before we take Questions on Policy and Legislation, I welcome the Active Retirement group from Midleton. I also welcome Cois na Coille Day Services, Ability West. I call Deputy McDonald.
Thank you, Deputy. The time is up.
Your time is up. Thank you, Deputy.
You are getting yourself in trouble, Taoiseach.

Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy. The Taoiseach is to respond. The Deputy's time is up.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
