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.
I am moving on.
