I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Bill.
Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2013: Second Stage (Resumed)
On a point of order, the Taoiseach is bringing this House into disrepute. He is manipulating the democratic process.
On Friday, 1 March 2013, on the question that the Bill be now read a Second Time,-----
The Taoiseach is trying to silence, in a dictatorial way, any dissent or even proper scrutiny of this Bill, and he should not be allowed to continue with this.
-----a division was claimed and in accordance with an order of the Dáil of 28 February, that division must be taken now.
Question put: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
The Dáil divided: Tá, 78; Níl, 43.
