Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

Given that the margin of the vote is actually less than the number of Green Deputies in the House and being anxious to accommodate Deputies who want to publicly display their support for the Government's cuts, like Deputy Áine Brady, my constituency colleague, and Deputy Paul Gogarty, in particular, and as a teller, under Standing Order 69 I propose that the vote be taken by other than electronic means.
