Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions
Deputy Ó Broin.
Verona Murphy
Rhetoric & votes →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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Before the Deputy starts, it is incomprehensible that, as either side of the House is incapable of respecting one another's time-----

I said "one another's" in terms of respectful discourse. I am asking for co-operation to get through the business of the day. I call Deputy Ivana Bacik.

Excuse me. The rules are the rules. This is Leaders' Questions. If you are not happy with the leader you have asking the question, maybe you would consider changing that but respect the answer to the question that has been asked.

Taoiseach, excuse me. This is not a back and forth. I suggest Deputy Hearne go away and learn the rules of the House. The Standing Order for Leaders' Questions is a back and forth between the leaders. Do you have a difficulty with that? At any stage, if you cannot comply with the rules or the Chair's direction, you are free to leave, as is any Member. We have a lot of business to do today and I intend to get on with it. Do you wish to finish, Taoiseach?
