Division on dementia amendment
The Chair puts Senator Humphreys’s amendment to the House and confirms he is pressing it. Senator Horkan raises a procedural point about the division, referring to the Dáil’s weather-related suspension, and the debate ends with a request to retake the division other than electronically.
Senator Humphreys has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate with the Minister for Health on services for people with dementia be taken today." Is the amendment being pressed?

May I make a point of order? It may not be a point of order but it is as close as I can get to it. It relates to the Order of Business.

It will be done by the time I have made an excuse for it. The Dáil has suspended its weekly divisions due to the weather and is allowing Members to leave.

I am not talking about the match at all. The Dáil has deferred its weekly divisions on the grounds of health and safety. I spoke prior to Senator Humphreys about bringing the Minister in, as did Senator Kelleher. If he is not available today, we should consider that.

Under Standing Order 62(3)(b) I request that the division be taken again other than by electronic means.
