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 reiterate that all Members have a responsibility-----
It is not a joke by any means. All Members have a responsibility to follow Standing Orders. That is it.
I thank the Deputy.
The Deputy's time is up.
Thank you.

The Taoiseach to respond. You have one question, Deputy.
You are destroying Questions on Policy or Legislation for everyone. The Taoiseach to respond. Members have one question on Questions on Policy or Legislation.
Is the Bill opposed?
Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
Sorry, Deputies.
Deputy Lawless should ask a question because his time will be up.
Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett. Excuse me. Deputy Paul Murphy.
Please, it is not a back-and-forth.
The Deputy asked the question; he should now wait for the answer.
Deputy-----
I ask the Deputy to stop talking.
