9:45 pm

I genuinely do not understand this. We voted today to have a body with 13 members. A proposal for such a body came from committee. On Committee Stage there were 13 named individuals for the 13 places. That was reaffirmed by the result of the vote on amendment No. 8 which went against the Government's suggestion of 17 members. Amendment No. 10, essentially, added three positions, thus contradicting the result of the previous vote.
