Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)

Yesterday, in this House, we saw unprecedented action from the Members opposite in the way they voted through billions for the banks. Yet, they are unable to vote through tonight's motion from Fine Gael for funding for special needs assistants. I want to show the people in the Gallery how the Members opposite care about special needs assistants. As a teller, under Standing Order 69 I propose that the vote be taken other than by electronic means.
