Comment on this
Some Senator inadvertently pressed Senator Wilson's button, so the result of the amended vote is Tá, 21, Níl, 25. The question is thereby defeated.
Senator Power has moved amendment No. 2 to the Order of Business, "That a debate with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport on the economic impact of the reduction of the number of Garth Brooks concerts scheduled for Croke Park be taken today". Is the amendment being pressed?
