On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded).

I thank Deputy Moynihan very much. This is an interesting one.
I thank Deputy McHugh for raising this important matter and I thank the Minister of State for being here to deal with it.

Not only was there a huge number of members of the parliamentary community present but 35 embassies were also represented in a phenomenal international display of support. Fair play to Senator Keogan for that endeavour.
