Given the seriousness of the issue and the thousands of children who will be in emergency accommodation over the Christmas period, under Standing Order 73(3)(b), I propose that the vote be taken by other than electronic means.

We have Standing Orders and, under Standing Order 73(3), the Deputy has demanded a walk-through vote, as is his right. As he is not a teller, however, he requires the support of 20 Deputies. I ask Deputies who support the call to stand in their places.

More than 20 Members rose.

Question again put:

The Dáil divided: Tá, 53; Níl, 56; Staon, 35.
