I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion regarding high energy costs. Yesterday, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.

Amendment put.

The Dáil divided by electronic means.

Because of the seriousness of the issue and the fact that the gap is less than ten, we are asking for a vote other than by electronic means.

As the Deputy is a teller and the difference in the vote is, as he has said, less than ten, the division will proceed.

Amendment again put:
