Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent)

I think I am making a valid point of order; the Ceann Comhairle can tell me whether he will allow it. What is going on here this evening with the deferral of the vote - this is the place where we hear all of the stories - is that the Government is not happy that it has enough numbers this evening and wants to have a better vote next week. Can the Whip confirm, through the Chair, whether that is the problem and why the vote is not being called? That is what is being said.
