Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) (Amendment) Bill 2023: Restoration to Order Paper (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2025-12-17
============================================================

Verona Murphy (CC), Wexford

I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding restoration of Private Members’ Bill to the Order Paper. On Tuesday, 16 December 2025, on the question, "That the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2), that division must be taken now.

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

As the gap between the votes is less than ten, given the importance of this matter, that this is about women's health and is about simply restoring a Bill to the Order Paper that already had passed Second Stage in the last Dáil, I am asking that we vote by means other than electronically. I ask people to look at their consciences and even shift from a "No".

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

Under Standing Order 88(3)( b ), I propose that the vote be taken by other than electronic means.
