Those in favour say "Tá", those against say "Níl".

I consider that the question is lost.

Do I understand that the Deputy has called a vote? In accordance with Standing Order 85(2), the division is postponed until the weekly division time on Wednesday, 1 October 2025.

You have to conclude, Deputy.

Thank you, Minister, you must conclude.

I thank the Minister.

The only thing I can do is bring it to the attention of the Ceann Comhairle immediately after the session. I know the Deputy said he has written. It is now a matter for the Ceann Comhairle. That is about as much as can be done.

Could you conclude, Deputy?

You should conclude, Deputy Murphy, please.

I call Deputy McGrath.

Minister of State, please.

Deputy, we have moved on to Deputy McGrath. Please have respect for him.

Deputy Rice.

Deputy Tóibín, you can write to the Ceann Comhairle about your complaint. This is not the place for it. I call Deputy Rice.

Okay. That will be later on and not now.

The Deputy to conclude.

Is the Bill opposed?

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

I call the Minister, Deputy Dara Calleary, to make his statement under Standing Order 56.

Your time is up.

I am sorry Deputy O'Reilly, but your time is up now.

Okay, but it is five minutes and three each.

I remind the Deputy of his time.

I call on the Minister of State to make her concluding remarks.

I must now deal with a postponed division relating to the motion on special education school places. On Wednesday, 17 September 2025, on the question, "That the amendment to the motion be agreed to", a division was claimed and in accordance with Standing Order 85(2), that division must be taken now.
