Thank you, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Richard O'Donoghue.
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.

Thank you, Taoiseach. I call Deputy Richard O'Donoghue.
Apologies, I missed Deputy Mac Lochlainn.
I thank the Deputy. I call the Taoiseach to respond.
I thank the Deputy. I call the Taoiseach.
I call the Taoiseach to respond. I thank the Deputy. The time is up.
I thank the Taoiseach. I call Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh.
The Taoiseach to respond.
Deputy, be fair to other Deputies. You are now way over time.
Perhaps further engagement is required. It is not a back and forth-----
Further engagement, as I said. Thank you.
I hate to interrupt, but the Deputy cannot bring something like that up with regard to a Civil Service salary.
That may be, but the Deputy has to have consideration for the fact that the individual in question is not here to defend himself. I ask the Deputy to be cautious.
I want to be clear. I am not interrupting speeches. It is just that when there is an allegation made against someone who is not a Member of the House but a private citizen, we must be cautious and understand that they are not here to defend themselves.
I thank the Deputy. You are over time. You know you were sharing.
Please, Deputy. Deputy Nash is next.
Unless I have missed something, what is the relevance?
Is it related to the Bill?
Excuse me. We have rules, abide on both sides.
Deputy Crowe, leave the House if you cannot abide by the rules. I call Deputy Shay Brennan.
Deputy Boyd Barrett, Deputy Brennan is on his feet and so am I. Rules are rules.
