I must now deal with the deferred division on the People Before Profit-Solidarity amendment to the Government amendment to the motion regarding reform of the television licence fee model. Yesterday, on the question "That the amendment to the amendment be made", a division was claimed and that division must be taken now. Will the Deputies who are claiming a division please rise in their places?

Deputies Mick Barry, Richard Boyd Barrett, Michael Collins, Gino Kenny, Paul Murphy, Carol Nolan and Peadar Tóibín rose.
