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 time permitted for the debate having expired, I am required to put the following question in accordance with an order of the Dáil of 14 April: "That the Seanad amendments not disposed of are hereby agreed to in Committee and agreement to the amendments is accordingly reported to the House."
Agreement to the Seanad amendments is reported to the House. A message will be sent to Seanad Éireann acquainting it accordingly.
Before I invite the Minister of State to take the debate, I welcome Professor David Burn, who is president of the world Parkinson's association. We are hosting a three-day international conference here in Powerscourt. He and his members are most welcome. Deputy Grealish is hosting them this evening.
Thank you, Deputy.
Thank you, Deputy.
The Deputy's time is up.
The Deputy must do it in his time.
I call Deputy Gogarty.
Deputy Ó Murchú, please.
Deputy Ó Murchú, you divil. I call Deputy Gogarty.
Yes, full participation. Thanks to all.
We move now immediately to the Arbitration (Amendment) Bill 2025: Report and Final Stages. Members need to indicate should they wish to speak. Amendment No. 1 in the name of Deputy Smith is out of order. Amendment No. 2 is ruled out of order.
Amendment No. 3 arises out of committee proceedings.
That is a point of clarity.
No, unless it relates to the amendment.
Speak to the amendment.
There is a God.
The Minister to speak.
Deputy, please.
Deputy Ó Murchú has two minutes left.
