Later, I would have thought. I will ask the Clerk.
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.

We will continue with the nomination. There is speaking time after that.
The next business is the nomination of Taoiseach pursuant to Article 13.1.1° of the Constitution. I invite Members to make nominations for Taoiseach. I remind Members that it is custom to second nominations for Taoiseach but this is not mandatory.
I call Deputy Joanna Byrne as seconder.
As there are no other nominations, I call the Tánaiste, Deputy Micheál Martin, to respond to the motion.
I thank the Tánaiste.
I thank the Tánaiste. I will start as I mean to go on.
I thank the Tánaiste. We will move on.
I thank the Tánaiste. We move now to the leader of the Labour Party, Deputy Ivana Bacik.
I thank the Deputy. We now move to the deputy leader of the Social Democrats, Deputy Cian O'Callaghan.
Apologies, I was not aware. That is no problem, I call Deputy Hearne.
We move to a representative of the regional technical group convened by Deputy Michael Lowry.
We move to the technical group convened by Deputy Boyd Barrett. I call Deputy Healy.
Is that agreed? Agreed. You have a minute each.
The Deputy’s time is up. He should conclude to be fair to his colleagues.
Thank you. The Deputy’s time is up. I call her colleague, Deputy Boyd Barrett.
The Deputy is running down her colleague’s time.
Deputy Coppinger, if there is no time left your colleague will not be able to speak.
Deputy Boyd Barrett, you have 20 seconds.
Thank you, Deputy, your colleague is signalling to speak. You have 16 seconds, Deputy.
