Like others, I was not going to speak about the referendum on the abolition of the Seanad, given that we should be discussing more pressing matters, for example, the upcoming budget. I hope that today will be the last discussion on the subject until we are closer to 4 October. However, I agree with all of the contributions so far, particularly concerning the lie being sold to the people about a saving of €20 million. This is unforgivable.
