Judicial Appointments vote procedure
Senator Mullen pressed his amendment, the Chair welcomed visitors from Drinagh, and Members exchanged light remarks. Mullen then requested a walk-through vote and moved that the division be taken by other than electronic means.
I welcome the Collins family from Drinagh, west Cork, who are in the Visitors Gallery. They are friends of Senator Denis O’Donovan. They are most welcome to Seanad Éireann.
