Vol. 216 No. 12

Business of Seanad

I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that No. 3, the resolution to establish the constitutional convention, be taken without debate, as the Tánaiste has been waiting since 11.45 a.m. and was prepared to stay until 1.30 p.m.

Is the amendment to the Order of Business agreed to?

The Leader misled the House. He told us the Tánaiste was not able to be present.

Is the amendment agreed to?

It most certainly is not. The Tánaiste would not have had to sit out there for an hour if the Leader had played ball initially.

Amendment put.
The Seanad divided by electronic means.

Under Standing Order 62(3)(b), I call for the division to be taken again other than by electronic means.

As the Senator is not a Teller, will the Senators supporting his request please stand?

More than four Members rose.

The vote will now proceed.

Amendment put:
The Seanad divided: Tá, 28; Níl, 19.
