I ask Deputies to respect the Chair. Excuse me.
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 ask Deputies to respect the Chair. Excuse me.
I am asking again, Taoiseach, if you used the words, will you withdraw them?
Taoiseach, I did not ask you to stand up. I specifically asked you to withdraw the words, if you used them, whether they were as Béarla nó as Gaeilge.
I will resume my seat and move on to Deputy Cian O'Callaghan for Leaders' Questions.
No, you can-----
No, Deputy.
Deputy, resume your seat.
Deputy Doherty, you are being disrespectful to the Chair in a way of which you are well aware. When the Chair is standing, you do not speak.
I thank the Deputy. I am moving to Leaders' Questions-----
-----and I would say to the leader of Sinn Féin that if she wishes to make a complaint in writing, we will deal with it.
I have already said-----
I have told Deputy Doherty how I am dealing with it. I am moving on.
Leaders' Questions will resume with Deputy Cian O'Callaghan.
I thank the Taoiseach. He can come back in.
I thank the Taoiseach. We will move to-----
-----the Independent and Parties Technical Group, and Deputy Ruth Coppinger.
Taoiseach, you are out of time. Thank you.
Sorry, Deputies, we will move on.
Deputies, please.
Leaders' Questions has ended.
