Question put: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."

What this means

• On 13 May 2026, the Dail voted on whether to give the Electricity Regulation (Amendment) Bill 2026 its Second Reading, which would allow it to progress further.[source]
• The vote was lost. 66 TDs voted in favour and 83 voted against, with no abstentions recorded.[source]
• Because the vote was lost, the Bill did not pass its Second Reading stage and cannot proceed through the Dail in its current form.[source]
• This matters for accountability because it shows the Dail majority rejected proposed changes to how electricity is regulated in Ireland at this stage.[source]
