Seanad debates
Thursday, 24 November 2011
Address by Dr. Mary Robinson
11:00 am
Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)
I would like to ask her a variation of the question on the role of the Seanad. As a constitutional lawyer and former Senator, how would she justify the continuance of the second Chamber against a somewhat indifferent public fuelled by an equally indifferent media which seems to have obscured the original intention of this House, which was to act as a check and balance against big government?
