Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding an inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell. On Tuesday, 9 July 2024, on the question "That the motion be agreed to", Opposition Deputies indicated that they did not agree to the motion. A division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.

The result of the division is Tá, 63; Níl 0; and Staon 75. Accordingly, there has not been a valid division and I therefore declare the question, and the motion, carried. On a brief point of order, this is the second time that a motion calling for a public inquiry into the death of Shane O'Farrell has been passed.
