I am prepared to accept amendment No. 5 in the name of Deputy Shortall.

As it is now 6 p.m. I am required to put the following Question in accordance with the Order of the Dáil of this day: "That amendment No. 5 and the amendments set down by the Minister for Health and Children and not disposed of are hereby made to the Bill, Fourth Stage is hereby completed and the Bill is hereby passed."

As this is a Private Members' Bill moved by me, I am pleased the Bill has been passed and I urge the Government to ensure Seanad time is made available at an early stage. I deeply regret the vote that has just taken place. It was a fundamental mistake and it is most unfortunate that the Minister of State, within two weeks of the Murphy report on swimming being published, has rejected fundamental recommendations.

It is not appropriate to comment on a vote that has already taken place.

It has been my experience with previous Private Members' Bills that there has never been a difficulty from the Chair in doing so.

The Deputy is not entitled to comment on a vote that has taken place.
