In fairness, I said at least two hours ago that if someone debates an issue for an hour, an hour and a half or two hours and then decides not to call a vote at this Stage but to withdraw the amendment and re-enter it, it means that he or she is getting a second bite at the cherry. Before the vote was taken some Members on the Government side said they were anxious that it should not be withdrawn but voted on. On this issue, Senator Mullen has said he wants to move and withdraw the amendment. Is that agreed?
