I think the input of the Seanad should be mentioned as part of the background and context to the legislation when it hits the Dáil. It should not have to wait until it reaches the Dáil to be discovered. Background information, such as the fact that it was debated in the Seanad as part of the legislative process of the Upper House, should be mentioned as well. The impression is regularly given that a Bill being discussed in the Dáil has been newly discovered.
