Division procedure
After confirming that the amendment was pressed, the House descended into repeated arguments over whether a walk-through vote could be called, who could act as tellers, and whether the Order of Business had been agreed. The Chair repeatedly ruled on procedure and required the vote to be handled under the Standing Orders.
Senator Conway-Walsh has moved an amendment to the Order of Business, which was seconded by Senator Norris: "That Committee Stage only of the Aircraft Noise (Dublin Airport) Regulation Bill 2018 be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?

It is a case of people making up the rules as they go along.

Proceed as it is two and one. The rules are that one of the tellers must decide if he or she wants a walk-through vote or not.
