Deputy, allow the Taoiseach to answer.
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.

Deputy, allow the Taoiseach to answer.
That was not a question for answer.
I thank the Taoiseach.
Just before moving on-----
That might be what I am about to do.
No, but the Taoiseach can work away there.
Very good. Only secondary to Aaron, with the liberty of the Deputies, I welcome Gaelscoil Chaladh an Treoigh from Limerick, including a grand-daughter of former Deputy, Éamon Ó Cuív, who is also present, who is in sixth class in the school. We welcome them all. We will move on to Questions on Policy or Legislation.
I thank the Deputy and call on the Taoiseach to respond.
I thank Deputy McDonald. I call on the Taoiseach.

I thank the Deputy. The time is up. I call on the Taoiseach to respond.
I thank the Deputy. His time is way over.
This is not a back and forth exchange.
It is not a back and forth. Would the Taoiseach like to respond? No. That is fine. I call Deputy Paul Lawless.
The Taoiseach has not been given the opportunity. Everybody should appreciate the format of these questions is one minute and one minute and they should please stick to it.
I call Deputy Paul Lawless.
I thank the Deputy. I call on the Taoiseach to respond.
The Deputy must stay within his time. The Taoiseach should please respond.
