Will the Minister of State clarify that?

Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 440 of 443 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded).

We are all clear. We are not totally in agreement, which is reasonable and will not alter.

Amendment No. 3 ia is in the name of Senator Dooley and is deemed out of order as a potential charge on the Revenue.

We can only have one contribution per Senator on the section. Given the ingenuity of Senators I am sure that they will find a way to bring the point up again under another section.

Is the Leader proposing that notwithstanding the Order of the Seanad today that Senators, other than group spokespersons, may contribute to statements on the procurement process for a new Irish Coast Guard aviation service and that the contribution of any such Senator shall not exceed five minutes?
