Seanad Reform?

voter1983 · 2013-10-10 10:19:33

So with the recent decision to keep the Seanad what do people think should happen now. Should the Seanad be kept as is or should it be reformed? If it is to be reformed what changes would people like to see made?

The government shows its contempt for the seanad - in a power grab they push through guillotine legislation to get their replacement for Clune in situ asap - they need to control the seanad in case it actually does its job.

Why not push through some meaningful Seanad reform - open elections for all panels!
