I thank the Deputy.
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.

I thank Deputy Collins. I call on the Taoiseach to respond as quickly as he can.
Deputies should please allow the Taoiseach to speak.
It is an important matter. Questions on Policy or Legislation is being compromised.
Deputies should resume their seats.
If Deputies do not want to hear the answer, we will move on.
The point is they do not want to listen, so we will just move to the vote.
You have 20 minutes to address Deputy Collins's question. Please do so.
Are the proposed arrangements agreed to?
Before I call Deputy McDonald, I reiterate that Members have one minute to ask questions and there is one minute for responses. There are 15 Deputies offering. We will not get to the final three if Members do not comply.
All right, Deputies.
Thank you, Deputy.
Deputy, you are way over your time.
Thank you, Deputy.
I thank the Deputy. Before moving on to the next slot, I am sure Deputy Cullinane has permission from the parents to use the names of minors. It is important to be cautious where minors are concerned. That remark is for everybody to note. I call Deputy Liam Quaid who is sharing time with Deputy Aidan Farrelly.
Teachta Healy-Rae, we need to move on.
Thank you Deputy.
Thank you Deputy. The Minister to respond.
