I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding Part 2 of the Health (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 2021. On Tuesday, 5 October 2021, on the question that the amendment to the motion be agreed to, a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now. The question now is: "That the motion be agreed to." On a point of order, I am a Member of this House for almost 20 years now.
It is a well-established fact that neither phones should be used nor photographs taken in the Chamber. The other point I would say is that if the Member is so worried about phones, he should talk to his leader, the Tánaiste, and everyone else who has their phones in here every day of the week. Please do not turn the Chamber into a Ballymagash.

Party shown is the one each member held on 2021-10-06, frozen by a dated join — not their party today. The Oireachtas API publishes no date of birth and returns an empty gender field for every member in this period, so no age or gender breakdown is shown.
