Tellers: Tá, Deputies Jack Chambers and Brendan Griffin; Níl, Deputies Paul Murphy and Thomas Pringle.
Question declared carried.

As 31 Members of Dáil Eireann seem to have no view on gangland crime in this country, I ask that we have a vote other than by electronic means.

I find what the Deputy is doing vexatious.

The Leas-Cheann Comhairle cannot reprimand a Deputy like that.

There is no provision for carrying out a vote in that manner.

That was quite a vexatious remark, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle.

These are very serious matters we are voting on.

Therefore, Members should not be abstaining.
