Can we have the Whip from each party or those wishing to record dissent, for 30 seconds?
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 McDonald. That is 30 seconds, and your amendment is moved.
I call Deputy Duncan Smith.
That is fine, Deputy. In future I will call on you to speak and then ask the leader to move the amendment when the others have spoken.
I did, but I said I would come back to you next. Go ahead, Deputy.
Please, Deputies.
I thank the Chief Whip.
Deputy-----
The question is that the proposed arrangements are agreed to. Is that agreed?
I have the question which will explain all of that.
The question has to be put, Taoiseach, if everyone will just settle down.
I thank Deputy McDonald. I call the Taoiseach.
I thank the Deputy.
Thank you. The Taoiseach to respond.
Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy. You are way over time and taking someone else's time.
I thank the Taoiseach. We have nine Deputies left.
Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy Gould. He can write to the Taoiseach. I call Deputy Stanley.
The Deputy is way over time.
