Please.
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.

Please.
The Select Committee on Disability Matters has completed its consideration of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2026 and has made no amendments thereto.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
I am not sure this is pertinent.
We will leave it to the Taoiseach.
Deputy Conway-Walsh, allow the answer please.
Deputies, excuse me.
This is not allowed.
The Deputy will have to take it up in another forum.
Deputy Boyd Barrett, please do not engage.
Deputy, it is not a back and forth. Respect other members.
Deputy, please.
Please, Tánaiste.
Thank you, Deputy Gould, for sharing a very personal experience.
Will the Deputies claiming a division please rise?
As fewer than ten Members have risen, I declare the question carried. In accordance with Standing Order 87, the names of the Deputies dissenting will be recorded in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Dáil.
It is not from the Deputy.
The Deputy's time is over. It is a record.
To be fair, that is not part of the debate.
