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

Ar mhaith leis an Seanadóir Kyne an leasú a bhrú?

I thank Senator Cummins. I know all Members are being succinct and to the point, but I omitted to state at the outset that this business must adjourn at 10 p.m. I point that out in order that Senators know where they stand and can measure accordingly.
Senator Warfield, without interruption.
