Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 634 of 639 decisive votes (0 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.

No one called a vote. I am asking if the Leas-Cathaoirleach wants to speak to section 70.

I thought I heard the Leas-Cathaoirleach say "not agreed". Does he wish to speak on section 70?

Senator Clifford-Lee, I will chair the proceedings, thank you. I am very happy to have lots of help from the terraces all day on how to referee the match and how to chair the proceedings. I will chair them. We are on section 70.

The Government Leader has to indicate to the Government Chief Whip if there is an agreement to do that, as far as I understand. I will get clarity on that . My understanding is that the Government Leader or the Acting Leader of the House makes the proposal. That is my understanding, but I will get clarity for the Senator.
