Thank you, Deputy. I call the Chief Whip.
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, Deputy. I call the Chief Whip.
Excuse me, Deputy Mac Lochlainn. The question is whether the proposed arrangements are agreed to.
I cannot compel an answer.
We will move to Questions on Policy or Legislation. I call on Deputy McDonald.
This is not a back and forth, Deputy. Deputy Gibney is next.
Please.
Please, Deputy.
The Deputy’s time is up. I call on Deputy Coppinger.
I thank the Deputy.
Excuse me, the Deputy’s time is up.
It is not a back and forth.
Deputy, please listen to the answer.
I thank the Taoiseach.
Thank you, Taoiseach.
Thank you, Deputy Lahart.
Deputy Lahart, your time is up.
We are out of time. However, there are two remaining Deputies so I propose to give them both 30 seconds to pose their questions and the Taoiseach will respond to both together.
Will the Taoiseach respond to Deputy Kenny?
That concludes questions on policy or legislation.
The Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure, Public Services Reform and Digitalisation, and Taoiseach has completed its consideration of the following Revised Estimates for Public Services for the service of the year ending 31 December 2025: Votes 7 to 10, inclusive.
