I thank Deputy Gannon. We move on now to the Solidarity-People Before Profit group. I call Deputy Mick Barry, who is sharing time.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 22 of 449 decisive votes (2 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

That is fine.
I am going to put amendment No. 1 in the name of the Minister for Education and Skills. The question is, is é an cheist, "That the amendment be made." Is dóigh go bhfuil an cheist rite. I think the amendment is agreed. I have to put the question formally: "That the motion, as amended, be agreed to."
Yes, I am now putting the main motion as the amendment in the name of the Government is now the main motion.
Nobody called a vote.
I am sorry. I did not hear it. I beg the Deputy's pardon. He can call it at this point now as I am putting the motion. I did ask and I did not hear any call for a vote.
No, I did not hear it. I am putting the main question now and the Deputy can make up his mind. The question is: "That the motion, as amended, be agreed to."

Deputy Ó Laoghaire should please be aware that I am in the middle of a vote at this point.
I did not hear the Deputy.
There is nobody beside Deputy Ó Laoghaire. I am sorry.
I did not actually hear.
That is okay. Could I just clarify something? The first step was to put the Government amendment.
I did not hear anybody say "No" or call a vote on that.
I did not actually hear it.
The Deputy should just let me explain. Then I proceeded to put the motion. Deputy Ó Laoghaire can now call a vote at this point if he wants.
Yes.
No.
I did not hear that so I proceeded to the next part.
