Taoiseach, please resume your response.
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.

Taoiseach, please resume your response.
Sorry, Deputy.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
No, I understand.
Taoiseach, it is not your fault and it is certainly not the other Members-----
Let me say please Taoiseach-----
This is the problem, Taoiseach.
They are not hearing the answer because they are not listening.
Yes, I agree.
It is not your fault, Taoiseach.
That is the point.
Excuse me.
My intervention is that the answer-----
They have a timeframe-----
Excuse me, Deputy. There is a timeframe in which the Taoiseach can provide the answer.
If they choose not to listen, it is kind of pointless asking the question. The reality is that everybody should be afforded the opportunity, as Deputy McDonald was by her colleagues, to ask a question.
I would expect-----
I am speaking, Deputy.
I am speaking, Deputy, so I would expect that you stop speaking when I speak. What I am asking is that everybody afford each other the same level of respect. In that way the House will operate with decorum. I call Deputy Bacik.
Thank you, Deputy. I call the Taoiseach.
