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.

Perhaps the Deputy could engage further-----
Deputy, you have had your question.
Thank you Taoiseach.
There are two further Deputies who will not get in if this continues.
Does the Deputy want the answer?
Deputy McDonald, this is not your question.
There are two further Deputies but we are out of time. There is a lack of co-operation from Deputies and that is why we are out of time. We should be able to fit everybody in. The more I have to ask for co-operation, the more time we waste. Strictly speaking, I should not allow the other two Deputies in but I will allow them 30 seconds each, after which the Taoiseach can respond.
Time is up on that particular question.
The Minister did not interrupt you, Deputy.
Deputies, give the Minister the courtesy of listening.
The Deputy will have his speaking time.
I understand. Allow the Minister to finish.
The Minister's time is up.
I thank the Deputy. I call Deputy Michael Cahill.
In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is postponed until the next weekly division time tomorrow evening.
The Select Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration has completed its consideration of the Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2025 and has made no amendments thereto.
I welcome members of the Retired Garda Association from Wexford and their respective partners. We all owe them a debt of gratitude.
I thank the Deputy.
You are right. You do not.
Deputy, your time is up.
