They didn’t DEBATE it – Sinn Fein put forward an amendment to delete that line -

“(e) both parties are of the same sex.” –

There was an immediate vote with no debate FF and PDs voted against, Labour and FG abstained, SF, Greens, Indos voted for

You wouldn’t actually know what the amendment was unless someone told you because it is just Sean Crowe saying “to delete line 9″ – actually that annoys me – I would like if the oireachtas debates online explained a bit more

Thanks, Ian, I wasn’t aware of that. Do you have a link to that Dail debate? (I’m a bit lazy..)

Interesting to see another re-inforcement of the two faces of the Green Party.
