What this vote was on. A vote on an amendment or on one stage of a bill is a vote on that question only, not on the bill as a whole. The full wording is above.
"No vote recorded" covers anyone the record lists no vote for: a TD may have been away, paired with someone on the other side, or in the chair. The Ceann Comhairle does not ordinarily vote.
