The Deputy knows she will have to engage further at another time.
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.

The Deputy knows she will have to engage further at another time.
I thank the Taoiseach.
Time is up, Taoiseach. It will be read into the record. We have 16 Deputies. On the balance of fairness, I propose 45 seconds each. I will do my best so each Deputy gets a reasonable answer. I call on Deputy Séamus McGrath.
The Taoiseach have roughly 11 minutes to respond.
Deputy, please. Be fair to other Members.
The Deputies are like the terrible twins over there. Please stop.
Deputy Murphy, you know it is not the format.
I ask you not to ignore me, Deputy.
I ask the Taoiseach not to encourage the Deputy. I ask the Deputy to please not ignore me. There is a format here and it is Taoiseach's Questions.
Deputy, please. Be fair to other Members.
Deputy Sheehan, yes.
It is rhetorical.
Thank you, Taoiseach. We will have an extra minute and a half on the next question, which is to ask the Taoiseach when the Cabinet committee on disability will meet next. That will give Members a minute each.
I know.
That concludes the contributions. There are just over nine minutes for the Taoiseach to reply to the 12 Deputies.
I call Deputy Danny Healy-Rae.
Time is up, Deputy.
Is that eight minutes and four minutes?
I congratulate the Deputy. I was not aware it was his first speech here since being elected.
We are short of time so I ask for a single reply.
