Thank you, Taoiseach. He will have to go back to the 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, Taoiseach. He will have to go back to the Deputy.
I call Deputy Catherine Callaghan.
The Deputy's time is up. The Taoiseach will resume his seat, his time is up.
Deputy Aird's time is up.
My apologies. Deputy O'Rourke is next, whom I skipped.
It is not a back-and-forth, Deputy, and we are out of time, Taoiseach.
I appreciate that. We have two Deputies remaining. I propose 30 seconds each and then a response from the Taoiseach. I call Deputy Liam Quaide.
Deputy, please.
Deputy, please.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
Thank you, Taoiseach. We are way over time.
I understand Deputy Paul Murphy, in accordance with Standing Order 187, intends to move the referral to committee of the Industrial Relations (Provisions in Respect of Pension Entitlements of Retired Workers) Bill 2021. I understand it is proposed to refer this Bill to the Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment.
I call Deputy Emer Currie.
Thank you, Deputy Tóibín.
Before the Taoiseach responds-----
No, I have called nine Deputies. I will call Deputy Murphy on the next group of questions. If the Taoiseach will allow me the liberty, I acknowledge that the Mexican ambassador, Her Excellency Carolina Zaragoza Flores, has joined us in the Gallery. The ambassador is retiring today. I take the opportunity to thank her for her sterling body of work. Her husband, José, is with her. I thank the ambassador for her kindness to me during her tenure and I wish her all the best in her retirement.
Thank you.
Thank you, and we will now-----
The Minister of State will be back in. His time is up.
I call Deputy Pat Buckley.
