I remind Deputies-----
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 remind Deputies-----
Deputy McDonald's time is up.
I call the Taoiseach to respond.
Through the Chair, please.
Please, Deputies, allow the response without interruption.
Sorry, but if I have to interrupt-----
The Deputies are speaking out of both sides of their mouths now.
Enough. Thank you, Taoiseach. Time is up.
Before I call Deputy Bacik, I will remind Members not to come to meetings where we all speak out of both sides of our mouths about interruptions. They know the rules. Interruptions are not allowed.
Each Member is entitled to a fair hearing and each Member will get it.
I thank the Taoiseach. Deputy Bacik will now have an opportunity to respond.
Respect.
Deputy Ó Broin, the last time-----
Sorry, Taoiseach. Excuse me. Stop the clock, please.
Deputy Ó Broin, there is nothing special about you, or is there?
Taoiseach, the clock is stopped.
Excuse me while I address the Chamber. Deputy Ó Broin, the rules apply to everybody. Interruptions are not allowed. Your leader has had Sinn Féin's question and was afforded the time, if I recall, by everybody to put the question.
Deputy Ó Broin, if you cannot have respect for the Chair, have respect for your colleagues.
Thank you, and for your colleagues.
Enough from everybody. Taoiseach, please resume.
