There was an equality of votes. Therefore, pursuant to Article 15.11.2° of the Constitution, I exercises my casting vote. I vote for the question in this case, the result of the vote now being: Tá, 22; Níl, 21.

Senator Norris has proposed an amendment to the Order of Business: "That a debate on communications, climate action and the environment be taken at 12.45 p.m. and conclude no later than 3 p.m. and that No.1 be taken at 3 p.m." This amendment is a logical alternative to the amendment already made. I ask Members to be quiet. If I am interrupted again, I will suspend the sitting for one hour.
