The Deputy should resume his seat.
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.

-----when I speak. The level of disruption to which we can go today is well documented. We are either going to continue with Leaders' Questions or we can move on. Deputies may not like the answers they are getting but I cannot give instructions on answers.
My function is to chair this Dáil and ensure that the House operates.
We are moving on with the business. I now move to Deputy Bacik.
I thank the Deputy.
Deputies.

I call Deputy Bacik. Does the Taoiseach wish to continue?
It is not your time yet, Deputy Bacik. The Taoiseach still has a minute left.
