I must now deal with a postponed division relating to amendment No. 1 on the motion regarding the re-introduction of mortgage interest relief. 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.
