Senator Conway-Walsh proposed an amendment to the Order of Business, "That No. 9, motion 1, be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?

Comment on this

I can leave it until tomorrow, unless there is a clear pathway before the end of today's business.

Paul Coghlan An Leas-Chathaoirleach Fine Gael

You wish to defer it until tomorrow, so you are withdrawing the amendment today?

Yes, but I will raise it again tomorrow.

David P.B. Norris Senator David Norris Independent

I was having a cup of coffee in the Oireachtas bar and the division bells never went off so I have missed one or two votes. I do not mind particularly but I just thought I would mention it.

I thank Senator Norris but I do not think there is anything we can do about it at this stage.
