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 wish to record our appreciation to the groups for their invaluable insights with regard to improving disability, access and inclusion. I hope they enjoyed their visit to the House today and I thank them all f…
Thank you.
To be fair to every other Deputy-----

A question.
I remind Deputies that their lack of co-operation will ensure at least three Deputies will not make the cut for Questions on Policy or Legislation. I call Deputy O'Flynn.
Deputy, please.
Deputy, your time is up.
