I thank the Deputy.
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 thank the Deputy.
Deputy, your time is up, and if you cannot ask a question in the time allowed, you are in the wrong forum.
I call on the Taoiseach to respond.
Thank you, Taoiseach. These questions are one minute each. I call Deputy Bacik.
The Taoiseach will have to come back to the Deputy in writing.
Is the Bill being opposed?
I ask the Deputy to move that Second Stage be taken in Private Members' time.
Deputy, you are in Deputy O'Hara's time.
Excuse me, Deputy Cleere.
You are over time, Deputy.
I thank the Deputy.
The Deputy does not. Deputy Ó Murchú is up next.
Does Deputy Quaide wish to come in?
Deputy Quaide can speak to Deputy Ó Murchú's amendment, but I am afraid we have gone past the Deputy's amendments.
We are discussing amendment No. 9. The Deputy has seven minutes if he wishes to speak.
The Bill will now be sent to the Seanad.
