On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 22 of 449 decisive votes (2 abstentions excluded).

This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I will call Deputy McGuinness but I wish to point out that we will be stopping the debate at 2.50 p.m. to allow the Minister to contribute for five minutes and Second Stage will come to a close then.
We are ruled by the clock and I have to stop the Minister of State.

A message will be sent to the Seanad acquainting it accordingly.

The time permitted for this debate having expired, I am required to put the following question, in accordance with an order of the Dáil of 28 July: "That the amendment set down by the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government for Committee Stage and not disposed of is hereby made to the Bill; in respect of each of the sections undisposed of, the section or, as appropriate, the section as amended, is hereby agreed in Committee; the Preamble and the Title are hereby agreed to in Committee; the Bill, as amen…

I ask for a little co-operation on the next matter. It is very late and getting later and there is still a lot to be done. I call Deputy Catherine Murphy, who, I understand, is moving a motion with regard to speaking time arrangements.

Can we show a little respect please?
There is a point of order to be taken. I call Deputy Boyd Barrett.
