I want to deal with amendment No. 1 as I was in the Chair at the time. For the sake of clarity and before proceeding with the division, I must ask the Chief Whip how stands the amendment? Is it being pressed?

Given the seriousness of the housing and homeless crisis and the rather odd decision at the last minute of the Government to withdraw its amendment and vote outright against this Bill, I call for a vote by means other than electronic means.

I draw the Deputy's attention to Standing Order 73(3) which is fairly clear. On the announcement of the result by the Chair, if the difference between "Tá" and "Níl" is ten or less than ten, the Member or Members may demand a vote by other means - a walk-through vote. However, the margin is greater than ten, so I cannot accept it.
