A Cheann Comhairle, this Government amendment is completely unnecessary. This is about an approach from parents of children in pain, with scoliosis, who have been failed by this State in a shameful way. Under Standing Order 83(3)(b), I propose that the vote be taken by other than electronic means.

Question again put:
