What this vote means

Bill — Second Stage

Decides whether the Bill proceeds beyond debate on its general principles.

This vote concerns a proposed law. A vote on one stage or provision does not itself make the Bill law; enactment requires completion of the legislative process and the President's signature.

Tá means yes and Níl means no to the exact question put. The vote alone does not establish a TD's full position or reasons.
