Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding the future of school education. On Tuesday, 28 July 2020, on the question that the amendment to the motion be agreed to, a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now. Can I take it then that the motion, as amended, is agreed to?

The Deputy did not say it was agreed but he did not say "Votáil". If the Deputy is going to call "Votáil", he should at least put on his microphone in order that we might hear him. The Deputies are against the adoption of the motion, as amended.

Built by scoring every sentence in the debate on how distinctive its language is, then quoting the highest-scoring ones back word for word and in the order spoken. Nothing is paraphrased or invented — if a sentence appears here, it was said in the chamber. Drawn from 70 words across 10 contributions by 3 speakers.
