Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

Senator Brian Hayes, the leader of the Opposition, made a proposal, which was later seconded, and that is his right. Regarding the electronic voting Bill, I understand that Senator O'Toole asked on Friday morning why it was on the following week. I know that we do not talk about the other House, but I must point out that it passed Committee Stage and is on Report Stage in the Dáil. I raised a query because I wondered why we should have the Bill when we are not to have electronic voting. I understand the commission requires a legal framework. It was set up for the job which it did so admirably and will now be placed on a statutory footing. For that to happen, it needs a legal framework, hence the need for the legislation.
