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 the Deputy.
Deputy, I ask you to resume your seat.

Deputy, please resume your seat.
Deputy Carthy-----
-----I am actually going to address the contributions.
Excuse me, Deputy. Please resume your seat.
Could you please resume your seat, Deputy?
Excuse me, Deputy.
I had not even given-----
I have not been given the option to do it.
Excuse me, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy. I ask for some decorum in order that I might answer what was put to me by your colleague earlier.
I reiterate what was said. I can give the House and its Members an absolute assurance that I will deal with the matter expeditiously. As the Deputy is aware, and as the Business Committee will have relayed to every Member of the House, there is a process in place. I invited submissions in order that it could be open, transparent and impartial. The closing date for those submissions is close of business today. Pending the vote on the Order of Business, we may or may not resume on 5 February, but I intend to deal wit…
Excuse me, Deputy.
I have said I have not yet-----
I am sorry. Excuse me, Members.
There is no point of order.
The Deputy can speak in a minute. He should resume his seat. Deputy Boyd Barrett wants to speak.
Members should not shout at me and jump out of their seats. I am prepared to hear them, but the reality in this regard is that I cannot give a date because I have not yet received all the submissions. I call Deputy Boyd Barrett.
