Tellers: Tá: Deputies Hanafin and Kelleher; Níl: Deputies Durkan and Stagg.

Question declared carried.

Amendment declared lost.

An Ceann Comhairle: As amendment No. 8 was defeated, amendments Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 7 fall, as they all propose to delete, in part, the same words.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I move amendment No. 4:

In the second line of the first paragraph, before "guarantor" to insert "sole".

This amendment has been corrected in a further circular today.

Amendment put and declared lost.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I move amendment No. 5:

In the fourth line of the first paragraph, before "appropriate" to insert "only".

Amendment put and declared lost.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I move amendment No. 6:

After the first paragraph to insert the following:

" - Calls on all states in possession of weapons of mass destruction to put them verifiably beyond use;-----

Deputies: Tá. Agreed.

(Interruptions).

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Has the Ceann Comhairle any control over the Government benches?

An Ceann Comhairle: Ciúnas. It is only necessary to formally move the amendment, it is not necessary to read out its wording.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Is it possible that the Ceann Comhairle might seek some co-operation from the Government benches?

An Ceann Comhairle: It is not usual to read the amendment.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I suggest that if those bellowed responses came from the Opposition benches, the Ceann Comhairle would hit the gavel quickly.

An Ceann Comhairle: I must ask the Deputy to withdraw that remark.

Mr. Cowen: The Deputy needs a sense of humour transplant.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I do not think this is a matter for humour, Minister.

An Ceann Comhairle: The Chair is dealing with a point of disorder. I ask Deputy Ó Caoláin to withdraw the reflection on the impartiality of the Chair.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I withdraw the remark. I will conclude the second part of the amendment which is equally important.

An Ceann Comhairle: It is not necessary to read out the amendment.

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I hope it is as enthusiastically received by the Taoiseach and his colleagues. The second part of the amendment reads " - condemns the deplorable human rights record of the Hussein regime in Iraq, and supports self-determination for the Kurdish people;".

Amendment put.
