Gravy trains? Get rid of the Dail, in that case. Have a STRONG LEADER with totally right-on principles to have the government (himself and cronies) do his bidding.
Remind you of anything?

I bet both of the "children" have a laptop and a tablet and could spend 30 minutes on referendum2013.ie and wikipedia and educate themselves.

you know there are consequences to removing the Seanad? Did you actually read the referendum docs?

IF A YES VOTE WINS

1 . Laws will be made if passed by the Dáil and the president. No amendments or changes can be offered up by anyone else. *** Do you want the current Government to have this power?

2. By voting to abolish the Séanad, you also could take away the President's power to refer Money Bills(laws relating to public finances, ie. matters relating to TAXATION) to the supreme court for a decision on whether or not they are consitutional. **More Power to Government**

3. The constitution currently provides the option for the president to refer bills to the people. If a yes vote is gained, THIS OPTION WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSTITUITON.
** More power for Government**

4. Currently, Ireland may adopt and implement certain EU laws and decisions and certain amendments to EU treaties ONLY if this is approved in advance by BOTH the Dáil and the Seanad.
IF A YES VOTE IS GAINED - ONLY THE APPROVAL OF THE DÁIL WILL BE REQUIRED FOR PASSING EU LAWS AND DECISIONS. **More power to Government and EU** ?

5. Currently Oireachtas has the power to pass laws for the purpose of securing
public safety and the preservation of the State in time of war or armed
rebellion. These laws may not be challenged in the Courts on the basis
that they are unconstitutional.

IF A YES VOTE IS PASSED - The Dáil alone will have the power to pass national emergency laws
and to decide a national emergency exists **YES more power the Government.

6. Currently, Judges of the Supreme Court and the High Court may be removed from office
for stated misbehaviour or incapacity only if a simple majority of the members
present and voting in each of the Dáil and Seanad pass resolutions to that effect.

IF A YES VOTE IS PASSED - The Dáil alone decides the above.

FFS even the Journal have an idiot proof guide to the votes this week. No excuse for ignorance.

Some people wouldn't be happy even if the President sat beside them and explained it with an Ann and Barry book.
